The Don meets the Bard in a play opening at a St. Paul theater next week.
"Corleone: The Shakespearean Godfather" opens at Gremlin Theatre on Nov. 20 and runs through Dec. 13.
David Mann's play imagines what would have happened if William Shakespeare had written "The Godfather." The mob tale is performed in iambic pentameter, just like a Shakespeare play.
The play premiered in a one-hour format at the 2005 Minnesota Fringe Festival. Mann has expanded the script to full-length for the Gremlin.
General admission is $20. Playgoers under 30 pay half their age.
