Almost Shakespeare is the retelling of the tragedies of Hamlet and Macbeth but with a comic twist. Just as in Shakespeare's day, this play can be performed in almost any space with very minimal set and costume needs. All actors remain on stage for the duration of the performance, taking on multiple roles of either gender while wearing various hats to indicate which role they are playing. With tight ensemble work, the fast-paced, zany script will appeal to those who are very familiar with the original works of the Bard as well as those who've never been exposed to Shakespeare. These comedic renditions of the tragedies are accessible and entertaining to audiences of all ages.

Royalties are $40 per performance.
