Hamilton has just become the drama instructor at Heavenston High school. There's just one problem: they only produce Shakespeare's plays and he hates Shakespeare. His solution? Invent a contemporary of William Shakespeare named Wilfred Rattlestaff and a new play for his class of misfits to perform.
Also, Hamilton's new boss -- his worst enemy, Gil Stern -- wants him fired, two of his students need to reconcile their families in order to finally be together, and Hamilton's old flame has just walked back into his life. Okay so that's more than one problem.
Not Another Shakespeare Show was originally produced by the Presentation School Drama Club in Maplewood, Minnesota on April 8-9, 2016.
