Synopsis
Twice the Usual Number of Suspects
Published by Samuel French Inc
Two classics are given a delightful twist in this evening of farce with a large and flexible cast
Shakespeare, Sophocles, Humphrey Bogart, and the Marx Brothers all collide in this daffy entertainment
Each play can also be produced on its own, making a one-act comedy ideal for contest use
Richard Blaine, The Merchant Of Morocco or, If Shakespeare Had Written Casablanca
What would it have been like if William Shakespeare had written the movie classic Casablanca?
The result is an hilarious tale of romance and intrigue written in mock-Elizabethan verse and sprinkled with incongruous Shakespearean and Hollywood quotes
Cocoanut Soup At The Palace or, If the Marx Brothers Had Performed Oedipus The King
Yes, it really is Oedipus The King as only the zany Marx Brothers could perform this Sophoclean classic tragedy in their inimitable style
A raucous comedy that turns Greek drama into a three-ring circus complete with a silent soothsayer, an Italian shepherd, and a wisecracking king
Wonderful for high schools
A great way to introduce Shakespeare
Good for touring.
By the author of Princess Antigone
