Shakespeare: As You Write It 2011

Shakespeare: As You Write It is a hilarious improvised tribute to the plays of William Shakespeare.

Three improvisers will collaborate with the audience to create a brand new Shakespeare play.

To achieve this they will have to look under the hood with the audience and see what makes Shakespeare tick.

What makes a tragedy a tragedy? A comedy a comedy?

To build a new play we must first understand the building blocks that Shakespeare used. Scenes, similes, soliloquies, and sword fights. Poetry, prose, and iambic pentameter. All mixed together in a witches’ brew of improvisation. All but one hour’s traffic on your stage.
