Shakescenes

Four short plays drawing on Shakespeare''s works and our modern-day use of them.
In ''Twenty-Minute Tragedy'', minor cast members take over a production of Timon of Athens and lead it in a new direction.''Sprite Fight'' takes place backstage at a production of A Midsummer Night''s Dream, in the aftermath of a confrontation among the sprites.In ''A Shakespearean Fragment'', a shady fixer is trying to negotiate the sale of a fragment of something that was once precious to The Bard.''Loosely Titus'' presents Titus Andronicus as a game show, with ''33 onstage deaths, three hands cut off, and a really interesting cooking lesson.''
The plays work together to make a fascinating evening of theatre, or can be performed separately in programs with other plays.
