Synopsis
We hate Shakespeare!
At least that’s what the audience thinks until they get a rip-roaring rundown of Shakespeare’s classics.
With zombies, talking cows and an appearance by Jerry Springer, I Hate Shakespeare!
is a hilarious and fast-paced introduction to Shakespeare – with a modern twist.
Plus, someone gets a pie in the face.
