Shakespeare Is Dead!: A Comedy in Three Acts

By David Carmichael

Eight of the world's greatest playwrights are invited by a mysterious figure they call "The Master" to gather at a country home in England for a weekend retreat in this three-act seriocomedy play by David Carmichael. The playwrights don't know what The Master has in mind, and the mystery deepens when he announces that he will choose one of their number to go on a very important mission for him. His selection, he says, will be based on a competition he has set up for the playwrights, news that sparks heated arguments, name-calling and general mayhem. Although Shakespeare Is Dead has its serious side, it also has a number of surprises and a great deal of hilarity. And oh, yes, although all eight playwrights are household names, it should be noted that all eight also are ... well ... dead.David Carmichael is a retired, award-winning journalist and playwright. He lives with his wife and three dogs in Washington state.
