Review (Creative Futures): Shakespeare Dying on the Stage

Sometimes a show isn’t quite what you expected—which can have both pros and cons. The world premiere run of Shakespeare Dying on the Stage is a great concept. Observing that Shakespeare’s plays include many onstage deaths, Dean Moulds (Playwright/Actor) decided to write a play that would ‘attempt to stage every death in Shakespeare in under an hour.’
