Shakespeare Succombs to Product Placement
- Synopsis
- Sketch comedy web series. William Shakespeare (a starving artist before his big career takes off) finds himself writing entertainment business schlock just to keep himself afloat and his nagging wife happy. His spec scripts are rejected by his literary agents and he is advised to write copy for Kelloggs.
