(Un)Shakespearean Nightmares is a fast-paced comedy in which Shakespeare's forgotten and iconic characters rebel against the Bard himself. Voila! Theatre Festival and The Playground Theatre present the show, whose cast plays multiple roles in a surreal battle to rewrite destiny and reclaim their stories from their tyrannical creator. It blends farce, parody, and meta-theatre and is recommended for ages 15 and up.
