Shakespeare’s Lost

The Brighton Shakespeare Company returns, this time with a new play, a comedy inspired by the works of the bard. Waiting for Godot meets William Shakespeare via the cartoons of Gary Larson. A man washes up on another castaway's island, a teacher who is in possession of an icon containing a copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Unbeknownst to the castaway teacher, the icon contains an imprisoned and mischievous genie who grants them three wishes, one of which is the conjuring up of Shakespeare's Juliet from Romeo & Juliet. Comical confusion ensues when only one of them can communicate with Juliet as all she knows is Elizabethan English. The wishes get more chaotic, interference comes from other dimensions and the plot twists and turns, leaving only one of them marooned on the deserted island.
