The Shakespeare Show: Or, How an illiterate Son of a Glover Became the Greatest Playwright in the World
by Ryan Gladstone
starring Ryan Gladstone and Tara Travis
directed by Karen Hamm
original score by Drew Jurecka
Who wrote the plays of William Shakespeare? Shakespeare himself? The Earl of Oxford? A horse? Monster Theatre gets to the bottom of it at The Edmonton Fringe August 13-23, 2015.
“This play is so damn clever, even if you don’t know any Shakespeare you’ll still understand it. If you have a love for language, physical comedy and intelligent wit, then The Shakespeare Show is for you.” ★★★★★ -CBC Winnipeg
“Brings the bawdy world of Shakespeare to life! The Shakespeare Show stands out in the festival for having something to say, and saying it with purpose and humour.” ★★★★★-Kevin Prokosh, Winnipeg Free Press
