O.M.G. - a Shakespearean Interpretation

Shakespearean literature is a universal classic, no doubt about it. His poems and plays especially, his plays; have been used throughout the ages till today, in academics, socialites and others as well. His plays were either mirrored or adapted in many ways in modern fiction, be it written/graphic literature (Neil Gaiman's The Sandman)to modern songs/movies (Baz Luhrmann's 1996's Romeo and Juliet).
Now, why are we talking about Shakespeare? Well...

The play is given the title of O.M.G; an acronym for Oh My Girl. It is a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's comedic play The taming of the Shrew. It is a musical romantic comedy on how love is not only sowed in a singular way and a sole intention, and how sometimes, true love and bloom with persistent patience on the stage of life.
Kristiana Padua is only well known for 2 things - her acid tongue and notorious reputation as the Shrew of Italy. Will this reputation however, ruin her chances of finding love in an arranged marriage with the newcomer in town, Paolo? Who will be the first to give in to love - the girl or the boy?
The purpose of this play is to raise funds for the Children Cancer Fund at University of Malaya's Medical Centre (UMMC/PPUM), where there is a need of medication, equipment and other supplies for the patients there. This play is aimed to assist the pediatric oncology patients, who are all between 4 months and 18 years old.
The target of our charity play is to raise a minimum of RM50,000 for the fund.
The charity play will be held on the 26th and 29th of January 2011. Both plays will be held at the newly renovated auditorium of KDU UC main campus, at Damansara Jaya. The preview will be opened to public at the price of RM15, with the play starting at 2pm.
The second play on the 29th is a part of a black tie dinner event, starting at 8pm to 10pm. Seats for the dinner and play are priced at RM100 & RM200 respectively.
More announcements in regards to this play are on the way in the near future.
Make your contributions to the fund by coming to the play!!! :)
