Synopsis
The literary world is turned upside down in this funny and clever program of six comic playlets that allows for a wide variety of casting. Jane Austen, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde argue about Star Wars and Harry Potter in a sports bar; Homer confronts his agent about his new epic poem; Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson meet through a computer dating service; a contemporary couple encounters literary nonsense in a library; and some historians learn details about Shakespeare’s life by going through his trash.

Hints, Tips, and Tricks
I did it without blackouts, and used "giant book spines" on castors to roll in front of one side of the stage or the other. This eliminate pauses and slowing down while still allowing the audience to applaud the previous scene and get ready to take in the next.
