"Wittenberg" at Orlando Shakespeare Theater

Web 2.0 has come to the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. (I refuse to call it Orlando Shakes. Ugh.)

But they have posted a cute little video preview of their latest play, "Wittenberg" by David Davalos.

Here's their description of the play:
This sprightly and hilarious battle of wits features university colleagues Dr. Faustus (a man of appetites), versus Martin Luther (a man of faith), and their struggle for the soul of young Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (a youth struggling not only with his beliefs but also with his tennis game!). Come hear the story behind the story of Hamlet in a highly entertaining and humorous exploration of reason versus faith. Featuring Eric Hissom and Jim Helsinger.

Warning: It's got naughty language, so leave the kiddies home.

Helsinger and Hissom are among the Shakespeare Theater's best actors, so while I can't vouch for the play, it should be getting get a good staging.

Runs through Feb. 15. More info at 407-447-1700.
