Shakespeare Gone Wild! marked the first co-production of Spontaneous Shakespeare Players and WildBard. In this production, the same company of players performed in all three shows—a Comedy, a History, and a Tragedy—thus giving the audience a taste of how Shakespeare’s plays would have originally been seen back in Elizabethan times.
It was Shakespeare like you’d never seen it before. We brought BAWDY back!
