Postcards from Shakespeare
by Allison Williams
Shakespeare has writer’s block. Nothing inspires him. The best he can come up with is “Now is the winter of our irritation!”
He pleads to the one person who can help him – Queen Elizabeth the First. Queen Lizzy, who could be a writer herself if she weren’t so busy crushing the Welsh, sends Shakespeare around the world in 30 minutes. Denmark! Venice! Egypt!
Join his whirlwind tour as he desperately searches for material. Star-crossed lovers! Surprise death! Shipwrecks! Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark…
