| The Shakespeare Convention by Christine Harvey (with YAK Drama Camp) |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 19. Minimum total without doubling = 38. No chorus. There are male and female characters, but in Shakespeare's day, they were all played by men, and there is no reason why the reverse convention should not be applied (or anywhere between the two extremes). |
| Run Time | Around 60 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| 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! |
| Synopsis | Bumbling producer Burbage and his irate associate Iggy have put together a Shakespeare convention, at which the actors perform four plays and a sonnet in a rather unconventional manner. Iggy is out to ruin Burbage, but loses the plot a little towards the end! |
