Synopsis
Aliesha, a disgruntled student, is trying to carry a huge book of Shakespeare's plays, but it's too heavy for her. So she tears out some pages and throws them in a trash can. The characters on those pages materialize, crawl out of the trash can, and raise havoc on the campus. It's funny for the audience but frightening for Aliesha. "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy." Shakespeare's said it, and Claudia Haas brings it to pass in this enchanting comedy. Macbeth's witches, Puck, Juliet, Katherine and Petruchio from The Taming of the Shrew materialize from a trash barrel where Aliesha threw pages from a book of Shakespeare's play. They tear up the gym and frighten the teachers in a comedy of errors that will delight audiences of all ages, even those who are only vaguely aware of Shakespeare's plays.
