Tyrell Wilks- Williams, Nikia Jackson, Christian H., Sid Ellis perform for Loy Norrix High School in the “Othello” rap. “Othello” is the one play written by Shakespeare with a black man as the protagonist. The comedy crew brings out a group to rap about the events in the play in an effort to be both funny and ironic.
Thursday during second hour the Loy Norrix Drama department presented an abridged version of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).
Selected English classes attended the preview.
The comical play was funny and kept students engaged. The play incorporated today’s comedy with the old boring plays you read in English class. Joe Santamaria, Nick Gould, and Drew Talo kept the crowed laughing with their narration of Shakespeare’s great plays.
Othello played by Tyrell Wilkes- Williams preformed a hilarious rap with other actors and for “ Romeo and Juliet” Nic Slocum played Juliet and was constantly being chased around by Romeo (Robbi Cook) sneaking a kiss.
The play will be open to the community tonight at 7:30 PM. There will be more times Friday and Saturday Dec. 7, 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday Dec 9th @ 2:30 p.m. at Loy Norrix High School in the Kasdorf Auditorium.
