Imagine if the original Ghostbusters movie had been written by the bard. Well, imagine no more, because The Coincidence Men bring you this: a staged reading of Shakespeare’s definitive version of the cult classic! Witness Lords Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore brought to life, joined by a motley crew of spirits and miscreants worthy of the poet of Avon. 80’s nostalgia and Shakespearean text will cross streams with hilarious results! Alas, poor Slimer, we knew him…
The play was was first remounted internationally by Hardly Working Productions at the Orlando Fringe in 2018 and took home a total of 4 Awards: Green Venue Patron’s Pick, Honors for 7 sold-out shows, Orlando Sentinel’s Best of the Fest List, and Critics Choice Best Director.
