SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

29 of Shakespeare’s sonnets delivered by four young people (collectively and individually) in pastoral settings—as well as at the breakfast table, over the telephone, and as a stand-up comedy routine. Divided into Prelude, The Young Friend, The Dark Lady, and Epilogue, the performances include the following sonnets: 1, 3, 12, 15, 18, 20, 29, 33, 34, 35, 57, 60, 73, 87, 90, 94, 97, 116, 126, 129, 130, 135, 138, 143, 144, 146, 147, 153, and 154. An afterword provides comments on the history and enduring relevance of the sonnets.
