Almost Tragic: Shakespeare's Not-Dead Heroines

By Laura Neill

9-20+ performers

Juliet Wakes Up (3f, 1m)

Juliet wakes up and discovers Romeo has poisoned himself. She's about to kill herself in despair, except... instead she panics and stabs his dead body. Will she try to save her husband, or make sure he's really dead and start a new life on the run?

After Hereafter (3 actors)

The Weird Sisters just heard about the fallout of their "shalt be king hereafter" prophecy. Macbeth is dead, Scotland is in ruins, etc. The three of them react differently to this news. Which of the witches is fated to get her way? And does fate have anything to do with it, anyway?

Iago's Daughter (2f)

After Abby's father Iago has ruined everything with his insidious handkerchief plot, Abby is sent to a nunnery to work in the chores alley--where she meets Desdemona's rebellious cousin, Brittany.

The Revenge of Gertrude (3f, 6-8+ any)

It's the end of Hamlet, and no one's dead except Claudius. Gertrude swapped out Laertes's poison for honey, and she's just about done with all these dumb boys and their plans.
