It is known that tensions can run high during the run up to our country’s national elections and Signature Productions, in an attempt to ease them, will next Friday evening stage its inaugural “RED” production, a parody of Romeo and Juliet.

According to a press release, the production promises elements of comedy, music, song, dance and poetry, “in an effort to provide a complete night of entertainment for a memorable Valentine’s evening.”

The cast of the show is not only talented but versatile, so patrons are sure to be “rolling with laughter” as the play is peppered with “sarcasm, farce, satire, dramatic irony and burlesque,” it continued

The play addresses racism and politics since the producers felt that these two issues must be addressed.

The cast includes Michael ‘Credit’ Ignatius, Mark Luke-Edwards, Clemencio Goddette, Mark ‘Chiney Man’ Kazim, Denzil Jones, Aleena Hoalim, Ladonna Kissoon, Sophera Waldron, and Godfrey Naughton. Naughton is also the director of the show.

The show is a family show and also provides a great date night idea for those looking for something different to do for that special someone. It begins at 8 pm and tickets cost $1000, $1500 and $2,500. Ticket locations are: MVP Sports (Giftland Mall), Payless Variety Store (Wellington Street) and the National Cultural Centre.

Signature Productions is known for its signature productions “Uncensored” and “Love & Laughter” and promises that “RED” will not disappoint.
