MY INSANE SHAKESPEARE to Play United Solo Theatre Festival, 10/13 & 10/19
August 22
"My Insane Shakespeare" comes to New York City's Theatre Row for world
premiere this fall: October 13th and October 19th. Written, directed
and performed by international actor Arthur Elbakyan, "My Insane
Shakespeare" is currently Sold Out and a Bestseller at the United Solo
Theatre Festival.
One performer, 10 characters, and "My Insane Shakespeare". This
original play is a reflection of life and relationships. The main
character of the play is an actor who involuntarily finds himself in a
mental hospital, where the key developments of the play unfold.
"This play is about you, me, us. What is better, to be in a mental
hospital among normal people or to be at liberty among the insane?
This is one of the questions I ask in my performance." - says Elbakyan
about his play.
By incorporating his own stage designs and paintings, Elbakyan draws
parallels between our modern day lives and the days of Shakespeare,
proving that over time, human relationships and values have not
changed at all.
Arthur Elbakyan is an international actor and theatre, film, and
television director and producer. Having lived in Armenia, Russia,
Europe and the United States, Elbakyan has played over 30 leading
theatre roles and has been the author and host of numerous television
shows. Elbakyan was the founder of the Theatre Studio "13" and also
co-founded the first independent television channel in Armenia "AR".
Elbakyan's passion for theatre was strong enough to bring theatre to
television with his introduction of a series of television shows "It's
Majesty Theatre" on the National Television of Armenia, taking the
audience to the unique world of the theatre and performing arts.
Recently, Elbakyan has received Best Documentary Short Award at the
Los Angeles Film and Script Festival.
