Ghostly Confessor

Ghostly Confessor

This 60-minute adaptation begins where Shakespeare’s tragedy ends. Friar Lawrence is captured fleeing Capulet’s Tomb and confesses his complicity in the deaths of the star-crossed lovers. A series of flashbacks reveal his wayward scheme of drugs, duplicity, and senseless grief.

All extracted dialogue is 100% Shakespeare but is sequenced to highlight aspects of the play usually softened, glossed over or deleted altogether.
