In 1584, the yet-unproduced playwright could not break into
the prestigious venues with his first play - which, as it turns out - was
a murder mystery. When the Globe Theatre would not permit "Nothing
Much About Doo Doo" on its main stage, Shakespeare begged them for
space somewhere to premier his show. The Globe allowed him to produce it
in the dining room - and thus, Shakespeare invented murder mystery dinner
theatre. He would spend the next 30 years trying to redeem himself.
Edmund Burymore (below) was on the academic pursuit of another
lost Shakespeare play when he discovered "Nothing Much About Doo Doo."
He is still looking for the lost script to "Henry VIII, I am, I am."
The impressive ensemble of classical actors in the Royal Crown
Shakespeare Company will feature some interesting casting choices, such
as Dame Delilah Ladiva (below), best known for her work in musical theatre.
She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Lizzie Borden in the hit
Broadway musical "Cuts."
Also featured in a supporting roles are former glam rock star
David Boney (below)...
...and standup comic Harvey Brashman (below).
Stage manager Allen Woodley (below), is the chief production
assistant.
