Well known one-man-show playwright and actor Timothy Mooney will be performing his show “Breakneck Hamlet!” at 7:30 p.m. (Friday) Jan. 29 at the Berry College Blackstone Theatre.
This event is free and open to the public.
“Breakneck Hamlet!” is sliced from Shakespeare's original, cutting what is usually a four-hour play down to a single hour with a single actor. Mooney's breakneck performance reveals Hamlet as a thrilling chameleon, with an immense intellectual capacity and a hilariously wicked sense of humor.
Mooney is the author/adaptor of multiple different one-man Shakespearean shows as well as the author for the acting textbook, “Acting at the Speed of Life.” Over 15 years, he has performed his one-man play, ""Moliere than Thou"" more than 500 times, giving more than 100,000 students their first introduction to Moliere. He also presents one monologue from every Shakespeare play in his one-man show, ""Lot o' Shakespeare,"" along with his collection of some of the most amazing speeches ever, in ""The Greatest Speech of All Time.""
Mooney is the former founder and editor of ""The Script Review"" and also the former artistic director of Chicago's Stage Two Theatre. There he produced nearly 50 plays in five years, including many new versions of the plays of Moliere.
