Life is turned upside down at the high school when the students find out that their English teacher has signed them up for the Shakespeare competition in London.

Rehearsals for “Hamlet” are a disaster, and then they also get in the way of a gang of burglars. How do you stick together when you can’t trust anyone?

A fast-paced play with plenty of drama and fantastic sound design. The motifs and conventions of theater-within-theater, as beloved by Shakespeare, are brought to the stage in simple English. The four actors portray 14 characters. This dynamic play conceals a surprising depth and offers insight into the often turbulent emotional world of six young teenagers.
