A typical college general education course is nearing the end of the semester and the instructor discusses the final project with the students. Since the course is The Concept of Death in the Renaissance, they are tasked with portraying the deaths found in Shakespeare's canon. Seems simple enough- act out a few death scenes and all done. He meant ALL the deaths in Shakespeare's entire canon of plays- including the offstage ones. That is over 150 deaths to be presented in their "production", which is the entirety of act 2 of this play. The students put their own twists on interpreting the fight scenes. Some are brilliant, some not so much. This is a wonderful action comedy for actors and audience alike.
