Shakespeare liked to control every word. Improv begs us to let go! Players Diana, Mick and Radhika delight in this artistic tension and plot to bring all to a merry conclusion. Mick Shaffer, player and musician, also accompanies the action on a Veillette Gryphon 12-string guitar!

It's fancy words, It's heightened emotions, it's gorgeous original compositions, it's Gamesome Frolic!
