This fast-paced comedy is an entertaining way to introduce student actors and their audiences to the wonderful world of Shakespeare.

Drawing from Shakespeare’s long list of histories, comedies, and tragedies, a grand parade of the Bard’s most cherished and famous characters follows. They humorously reenact brief moments from their plays and recite famous lines in this whirlwind introduction to Shakespeare that has something for everyone.
