Fall Fundraiser

The Life and Death of King John: A Staged ReadingTreachery and intrigue among the progeny of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine – the fun couple from The Lion in Winter.  Barbara Link LaRou plays Eleanor.  Yes, the old gal’s still around and her family is still a mess!  Todd Benzin plays King John; with Saul Elkin as his wily nemesis, King Philip of France; and an all-star cast of SDP favorites.SDP has never produced this historic Shakespeare play on the main stage and is happy to continue this new yearly fundraising event of providing a reading of the Bard’s rarely produced work for all to hear and enjoy.This special benefit performance for Shakespeare in Delaware Park took place on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 at the Buffalo Seminary. The evening began at 6pm with pre-show entertainment, hors d’oeuvres by Rich’s Renaissance Catering and wine tasting provided by Freedom Run Winery. The KING JOHN reading began at 7pm with dessert and coffee served at intermission.
