Cedar City • All in. That’s the spirit of the three terrific actors who craft comedy magic before our eyes in “William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (Abridged).”
The play’s a contemporary Monty Pythonesque romp that throws everything and the kitchen sink into a Shakespearean witch’s brew. Even the canon completists among us don’t need to worry: Theatrical quips are tossed out so quickly that you don’t need to check any boxes. Just hang on for the next wig change.
Under the sure-handed direction of Christopher Edwards, actors Riley Shanahan, Marco Antonio Vega and Luke Striffler play together like long-lost comic brothers in this entertaining Utah Shakespeare Festival production, a regional premiere.
