LOVED this play!

My Play Production class almost unanimously selected this play out of nine possible options. It gives actors some really great material to dig into, whether they are a fool, a wife, or Henry. We went w/ a minimal set, a simple color pallet and some abstract choices to convey the 'heavy stuff' in a way that was appreciated and understood by audiences. We got loads of praise from our participation in the local high school play festival, and advanced to the state level w/ this play. It was a challenge to get it under 45 minutes, but it was well worth it!
