The play takes place in Sneden’s Landing, New York, in the home of Deputy Mayor of New York City, Charles Brock and his wife, Myra. It is their wedding anniversary as their best friends gather to celebrate. However, when the first couple arrives, Ken and Chris Gorman all is not as it should be. Ken, who is also Charlie’s lawyer, insists on keeping the circumstances a secret from the other guests until he unravels the situation. Soon after three other couples arrive, including Charlie’s accountant, Lenny Ganz and his wife Claire and Ernie Cusack, a psychiatrist and his wife Cookie, who hosts a cooking show on TV, and Glen and Cassie Cooper, a candidate for the New York State Senate and his wife.

As the Gorman’s attempt to keep the secret, rumor after rumor is revealed as accidents, car crashes and gunshots erupt into a laugh riot of misunderstandings and subterfuge until the police arrive in the characters of Jen Welch and Connie Pudney.

AN EVENING OF SHAKESPEARE

The Guild Theatreworks will be presenting "A Night of Shakespeare" at the Bob Anstett Cultural Arts Center at 515 Herbertsville Road in Brick on Tuesday, May 25th at 7:00pm. Following a tradition begun by Bob Anstett this varied night of Shakespearean pieces allows the performers to stretch their acting muscles by presenting the classical theatre pieces which have permeated not only English speaking cultures but the majority of cultures around the world. Since the 16th century the words and characters of Shakespeare have transcended the centuries and brought us many of the common phrases and bits of philosophy we use today without even realizing they began in a comedy or tragedy by Shakespeare. The actors are young, old and in between; some are speaking these words the first time and some have been glorifying in them for decades. The audience will revel in the pathos, the drama, the cruelty, and the compassion of some of his famous characters and words. Come discover a "Night of Shakespeare" and take away an evening of revelations.

Free but call for reservations 732-262-1006 or for more information call Ada Cole at 732-840-3515
