Appropriate Audience Behavior

by Ian McWethy

Comedy / Carol and Ashley are expecting a tale of woe as they take their seats to watch Hamlet, but the real tragedy is that they're sitting next to the world's noisiest weirdos. The audience takes the spotlight as everyone from a cough-drop obsessive to a guy watching the play like a football game steals the show from the unseen Shakespearean masterpiece. An outrageously meta comedy that reminds us where the drama belongs--onstage. (9 f, 8 m, 3 either / 5-20 actors 0-20 f, 0-20 m)
