Wiliam Shakespeare’s epic tales of comedy, romance and tragedy will be reinvigorated with a jazzy twist at “Shakespeare Swings!”— a cabaret-style production premiering next week at UCF Celebrates the Arts 2015 at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The English playwright’s masterpieces have been translated into many languages, but the arrangements of UCF’s Flying Horse Big Band with vocals coordinated by the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre reinforces that music is the universal language.
“Shakespeare Swings!” will give the bard’s time-tested lyrics and sonnets a new sound at 8 p.m. April 11 as part of UCF’s free April 10-15 arts festival. The weeklong event of artistic presentations by university students, faculty members and partners will showcase studio art, music, theatre, dance, gaming, animation, photography and film in one venue for the first time.
