Fakespeare Or: The Alouishus Community Players Fake Their Way Through A Classical Performance While Pete Looks On
From the multi-award-winning creator of Watson comes something that should have stayed in his inbox. When a community theater is forced to perform Shakespeare on Zoom that they haven’t rehearsed (or really cared to look at or understand)… this is what you get.
SYNOPSIS
Synopsis
The chorus sets the scene for a couple of overwrought actors faking their way through some Shakespeare(?). Pete looks on. The drama builds and builds until he can’t stand it anymore. It’s his turn to go, and he does.
Voila. Shakespeare done right.
Exeunt, end meeting.

More Info
Characters:
The Chorus – Any gender, any age. Dead serious about performance and scene laying. Think Derek Jacobi in Henry V.
Lady Macb – 20s/30s. Ambitious wife of MacB. Super dirty hands. Much guilt.
Prince Hamilton – 20s-50s. Troubled. Overwrought. Clearly based on Hamlet. Might be funny if the actor is totally wrong for the role, like most actors who play Hamlet are.
Pete – 20s. Impatient. Actually good at acting. Surprisingly so.
Setting:
Time: In the middle of a global pandemic, where no live theater can exist. Because everyone wants those stories right now.
Place: A Zoom session with Shakespeary backgrounds.
