Commedia Beauregard Chicago performs an unholy mash-up of William Shakespeare and Quentin Tarantino. Bard Fiction is an Elizabethan retelling of Pulp Fiction, an electrifying tale of honor, betrayal and foot rubs. The story follows the seedy characters of Tarantino's opus, now part of London's underworld, in seemingly disparate plotlines that merge in unexpected ways. The play was first presented in the Minnesota Fringe Festival as a single one-hour version by Tedious Brief Productions. Now the show has been expanded to be a full-length play that's directed by Christopher O. Kidder for Commedia Beauregard, and features the music of Il Troubadore (who scored the 2011 production of A Klingon Christmas Carol).

Comedy Group 4 Days Late Presents Jersey Shore: The Musical

Full Price:
$20.00 - $25.00
Our Price:
$10.00 - $12.50

Whether you love it or hate it, you can't stop watching. Jersey Shore: The Musical, by Chicago-favorite sketch comedy group 4 Days Late, re-imagines the pop culture phenomenon with original songs and a wicked tone. Drunk and desperate for fame, the roommates hit the clubs and dodge grenades, until an unexpected turn destroys their fame. See how Ronnie, Sammi, Jwoww, Vinny, Pauly D, Snooki and The Situation survive without their G.T.L lifestyle. Even if you've never seen the television show, the humor will still hit home. Chicago Theater Beat praised 4 Days Late for their ability make satire look easy in this clever satire of modern pop culture. Learn More

Fabulous! Well acted and very clever writing.
One note... if you are planning to go you may want to re-watch Pulp Fiction first if you haven't seen in awhile so that nothing is lost on you.

The funny scenes worked better than the more serious ones - very clever and well written. For those who haven't seen Pulp Fiction in a while, it might help to watch the movie again beforehand (I'd forgotten lots of scenes, which made it a little confusing sometimes).
