| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act play (which might be regarded as a coherent collection of skits) for kids. There's a lot going on, but it doesn't need a complex set. A fun introduction to Shakespeare! |

| Run Time | Around 36 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Witty one-act comedy play in a single set (and not much of that), with plenty of Shakespeare references and a poignant ending. |
| Synopsis | Shakespeare is working on his final play, Henry VIII, collaborating with John Fletcher. The working relationship is tetchy. Shakespeare's friend, Richard Burbage, assumes he will get the lead, but Fletcher has other ideas. Shakespeare comes up with a plot to get his friend the part. |
