The Rustic Mechanicals script-in-hand performance series "a Play, a Pie, and a Pint" is all about the synergistic convergence of three of life's most amazing things: pizza, beer, and Shakespeare!

Join us on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 at Brickside Bar & Grill for THE CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT (William Shakespeare's Henry IV, part two). The doors open at 7p for pies and pints; the play starts at 8p.

All Tickets are $25, which includes the pizza and the play. A cash bar will be on-hand to provide all the beers. Seating is limited and reservations are required!

King Henry's health is failing but he is uncertain Hal is a worthy heir. Meanwhile, Falstaff is sent to the countryside to recruit fresh troops, where he gleefully indulges in the business of lining his own pockets. As the King's health continues to worsen, Hal must choose between duty and loyalty to an old friend in Shakespeare's heartbreaking conclusion of Henry IV's reign.

Directed and Designed by Jim Warren alongside Assistant Director Derek Hess, Dramaturg John S. Shirley and with Production Management from Seret Cole, the Mechanicals featured in this production include Jason A Young, Sinead Tobin, Aubrey Neumann, Linda O'Connor, Josh Brooks, Stephen Phillips, Asa Krinov, Niki DeWitt, and Sarah Young

Founded by Celi Oliveto in the summer of 2014, The Rustic Mechanicals is the only troupe of actors in the state dedicated to touring the works of William Shakespeare and other classical playwrights.

The Mechanicals now tour five shows annually, including their summer West Virginia Shakespeare in the Park(s) outdoor tour and script-in-hand productions that we call, “a Play, a Pie, and a Pint,” focusing on making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to modern audiences by utilizing dynamic and extreme casting techniques paired with Shakespeare’s staging conditions.

Previous productions include A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado about Nothing, Macbeth, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo & Juliet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, King Lear, Richard III, The Comedy of Errors, Hamlet, Measure for Measure, As You Like It, Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Cymbeline, and the original works Timeless Romance and Toil & Trouble.
