Prior to the accident in 1994 that left him in a wheelchair, Tony Palmier performed Off Broadway in community theaters and on cable TV playing such roles as the drug pusher in Hatful of Rain and Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. His first venture to reclaim his chosen vocation, "Shakepeare on Wheels," features a series of Shakespearean monologues ranging from Henry V ("Once more into the breach...") to Iago (plotting revenge against Othello). The Shakespeare selections are performed with background classical music. The second part of the performance moves into more contemporary material, with selections from Cyrano de Bergerac, My Fair Lady and The Importance of Being Earnest. Sliding scale: $6/$10/$15, free for Brecht Forum subscribers. 451 West Street (between Bank & Bethune streets). More info: 212-242-4201 or e-mail
