Pulp Shakespeare

9/19 at 8PM, 9/20 at 9PM, 9/22 at 3PM, 9/24 at 8PM, and 9/26 at 8PM

After a sold out and critically acclaimed West Coast Premiere, followed by a successful run at The New York International Fringe Festival, Her Majesty's Secret Players return with an extended run of ‘PULP SHAKESPEARE: The Unauthorized Shakespearean Parody of Pulp Fiction’ at the SoHo Playhouse. Re-Opening Sept. 19, 2012, you won't want to miss what LA Stage and Cinema hailed as "thrilling, exciting, and hysterical" and what LA Weekly called "..an appealing and unexpectedly harrowing drama." "This lively and imaginative re-invention" (LA Weekly) imagines what it might be like had the cult film “Pulp Fiction” been written by William Shakespeare. Set in Elizabethan England, Pulp Shakespeare weaves the story of a pair of murderers, their boss’s alluring wife, and a desperate knight through a breezy, lyrical 80-minute homage to two of history’s most popular storytellers.

CRITIC'S PICK! - BACKSTAGE LA WEEKLY says, GO! "..an appealing and unexpectedly harrowing drama." "It's an elaborate re-working of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction as a Shakespearean tragedy, and it's as fascinating as it is funny." - STAGE MAGE "...an inspired Elizabethan-styled adaptation...magnificently funny and entertaining..." - STAGE AND CINEMA

Lennon in Denmark

Writer: Vibeke Hastrup & Frede Gulbrandsen
Director: Frede Gulbrandsen

9/15 at 3PM; 9/16 at 8PM; 9/18 at 8PM; 9/20 at 7PM

A chance encounter between a young Danish woman and John Lennon in a remote part of Denmark forever changes her life. But was it for the better?
With humor, a wry sense of the macabre and a fantastic ability to capture the essence of this woman's inner struggle, the piece compellingly portrays a woman's battle to free herself from herself and her past. Based loosely on a true set of events in the early 70’s, “Lennon in Denmark” takes you on a heart wrenching yet heartwarming journey about love, forgiveness, being stuck and finally letting go.

Rave Reviews:
“"The  audience sat  attentive  and  interested  in  Anne’s  story due  to  Vibeke  Hastrup's  mesmerizing,  multi-­faceted  performance” – New York Theatre Review
“Vibeke Hastrup gives a great performance”" - nytheatre.com

“"The part of Anne is movingly portrayed by Vibeke Hastrup who in a convincing manner brings alive this woman who essentially is a dreamer and whose world was touched and forever changed when John Lennon came to Denmark”" - The Danish Pioneer
