FROM SHAKESPEARE WITH LOVE?
From Shakespeare With Love?
By Jonathan Dorf
With doubling: 2 m, 2 w
Script: 28 pages
Four of the Bard's characters wait for an overdue flight to London. When Romeo reveals that he plans to revenge himself upon Shakespeare, whom he blames for ruining his life, by killing him in a duel, it's up to the others, Titania, Viola and Antipholus, to save Shakespeare by showing Romeo that Shakespeare "does indeed love love." To do so, they recall scenes (using excerpts from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Twelfth Night" and "The Comedy of Errors" to weigh against the tragic "Romeo and Juliet") from their own lives that show Shakespeare's playful side. But everything they do only seems to make matters worse until at the very last minute, they win over Romeo, and "All's Well That Ends Well," just as a comedy should.
