Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead?

Shakespeare's Dead Dames

Complete History of America: Abridged is hilarious and slightly more accessible for the average audience than the complete works of Shakespeare: abridged. But they’re both equally entertaining.

There is a stage version of Shakespeare in Love.

*Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead* is a classic, well worth performing. In 2022, my son performed in *Fortinbras* by Lee Blessing, which is a rather silly comic sequel to *Hamlet.* There are 15 roles, but some can be doubled. (My son played Barnardo/English Ambassador/Hamlet's Father.)

Check out my play, the Shakespearecist. Mostly teens. 4m5f on Playscripts.com A teen gets hit on the head and can’t rid himself of playing Macbeth. His concerned friends call on someone that can exorcize the Shakespeare from the boy. Very funny. 60 min One m and one f are adults
