A Battle of Art vs. Commerce—Told in Iambic Pentameter!

Bridge Street Theatre presents Polishing Shakespeare, a razor-sharp satire by Brian Dykstra. When a billionaire offers a struggling theatre a fortune to “modernize” Shakespeare, an idealistic playwright, a pragmatic artistic director, and a moneyed mogul clash in a dazzling war of words. Packed with wit, searing social commentary, and a masterful command of language, this exhilarating comedy is a gem for theatre lovers and Shakespeare fans alike.
