Synopsis
To sell out or not to sell out?
Not really much of a question.
After their budget is slashed, the drama club turns to Shakespeare's greatest tragedy to raise cash, but it's not tickets that are going to fund this year's show: It's sweet, sweet corporate sponsorship and mid-play commercial advertising.
The sponsors demand changes in the stodgy old script, but who cares if Shakespeare never wrote musical numbers with back-up dancers or post-apocalyptic zombie battles?
He's dead and he can't complain.
Or sue.
A lightning-quick, hilarious perversion of the greatest play in the English language.
