The Play's
The Thing is a perfect way to ease pre-teens and teens, and even adults,
into the world of Shakespeare. The game presents quotes, plots and
characters from one play at a time in a fun way. As players pieces
together sets and perform scenes, the play begins to make sense.
Soon, players are ready to go on to the next Shakespeare play. And
then the next.

The Players: You and your friends, all Elizabeth actors.
The Plot: Dash and duel your way around the Globe Theater game
board.
Watch out for stage mishaps, missed cues, and even the plague while you
collect scenes - plot lines, quotations and characters from
Shakespeare's latest plays.
A Happy Ending: To win, collect and "perform" the most scenes. No
acting is necessary, unless you want to!
Whether you want to act out the plays or be "off Stage", The Play's the
Thing is enjoyable to play. There are duels, stage mishaps and missed
cues that add special flavor and fun. Players come away with a positive
attitude toward a very important literary figure. Beginners and experts
can play together with four levels of challenge. We think this game will
be "as you like it" and you'll want to play it over and over again!
