Plain Language Description

This show begins by taking an everyday story from an audience member. The improvisers will then turn this story into a Shakespeare-style play. The audience gets to choose if it is a tragedy or a romance. Past shows have included many of Shakespeare's tropes. This includes murders, plots, mistaken identity and magic. Every show is different, but all will be funny and dramatic. No Shakespeare knowledge is required.
