Meanwhile back at home, two computer geeks are hard at work trying to bring their friends back to their own time.
HAMLET WITH EXTRA CHEESE

This play dares to ask the questions Shakespeare was afraid to answer! Lady Macbeth, troubled by bloodstains—why not use Oxy-Clean? What is the Crocodile Hunter doing with Cleopatra's asp? Are there no plans for a sequel to Hamlet? Does this witch's outfit make me look fat? Four major plays are wrestled to the ground: Antony and Cleopatra, Richard III, Hamlet, and Macbeth....
HAUNTED HAMLET

What happens when a bad writer combines Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet and throws in a pinch of Taming of the Shrew for seasoning? Chaos and comedy. Wilma Shakespeare, an unpublished romance writer who claims to be a descendant of the "Bard," writes her own tragedy because Will's plays are nothing but "old-fashioned soap operas." She also decides to act in...
HELPING HAMLET

Martha is working her first shift as a volunteer for a teen help line when a potential suicide victim calls in.

Combining Shakespeare and modern language, this duet offers both comic and dramatic opportunities for its actors. It also...
LADIES, SIGH NO MORE

Lady Macbeth plays Monopoly with Juliet and shrewish Kate battles Cordelia at Trivial Pursuit. Ophelia cuts out paper flowers, and Desdemona sews handkerchiefs. Who is the mysterious man who seems to be so interested in the fate of these ladies? Is this an Elizabethan ladies club, or a literary loony bin? Only Dr. Wells seems to know for sure as she tries to help some of...

MAC AND BETH

A young couple has just robbed a bank. The dye pack in the bag of money has exploded, covering Beth's hands with ink.

MACBAD

There is no better way to learn about Shakespeare than to do so with Macbad. This is a taste of Macbeth, with different and hilarious twists.
A MID-SCHOOL NIGHT'S DREAM

It seems that every theater in the world has at least one or two resident ghosts. The setting for this play is your school’s theater and the ghosts who haunt it are up to their usual mischief. When that particularly pesky spirit, Peck, jumbles up the commands from his master, Cameron, King of the Dead, several living students in the school become the victims of mixed up love...
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SCHEME

Wilma Shakespeare has been confined to a mental institution ever since her last disastrous play, Haunted Hamlet.

THE TEMPESTUOUS AND FRACTIOUS SHAKESPEARE PROJECT
