Ten-Minute Plays by Lee Shackleford
A Company of Players Cometh Nigh
Ten-minute play written in Elizabethan rhyming couplets -- plus a sword fight.
A quarrel arises between two friends over whether a troupe of actors should be allowed to perform a play criticising the King. If you think that
sounds like political satire, you're 100% right. Requires two actors with knowledge of stage combat.
