Performance: Shakesploitation II Iambic Boogaloo (Iron Age Theatre) (Future Performances)

This week, we've got another theatre quote from Shakespeare because, as it turns out, the Bard was totally meta. This one is from Hamlet, and it comes at the end of a very long monologue (did you know that Hamlet is the talkiest of all Shakespeare's characters?) during which Hamlet schemes to have his uncle admit to killing his father. The entirety of the well-known quote, which isn't even a complete sentence, is: "...the play's the thing/ Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king." Now, on with the listings!

We can't help it. Whenever anyone so much as mentions , we get "Defying Gravity" stuck in our heads. Or "Popular." Now, on with the listings!

This week’s quote comes from Shakespeare’s , act five, scene four. In this scene, the king’s horse has been killed in battle, and he’s so desperate to stop fighting on foot that he offers his kingdom for a horse. Full quote: “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!” Why did we choose it? Because Shakespeare starts us of this week. Now, on with the listings!
