Diana Wortham Theatre

SHAKESPEARE ON TRIAL

Guilty or not guilty? That is the question – posed to you, the jury. Writer Bill Shakespeare encounters four of his own most famous characters (Macbeth, Iago, Hamlet, and Juliet) up-close, personal, and ticked-off. In this highly energetic and funny play featuring some of the Bard’s best quotes and speeches, Shakespeare must defend his own writing as the four characters challenge him to write in a modern way, arguing that no one really understands his plays anymore. You’ll help make the case for his lasting significance as you laugh so hard you bring Shakespeare back from the dead...Brilliantly entertaining!

Tickets: Regular $25, Student $20, Child $12
