Broadguess

Dee Ryan (The American Office and Second City alum) performs Broadguess, a Shakespearean Every Brilliant Thing. Broadguess is a hilarious interactive, comedic solo Shakespeare show. Elizabethan detective Broadguess, working the Elsinore castle beat - ghosts, again - gets a hot tip about Ophelia drowning in a brook and becomes entangled in the dark and ridiculous world of Shakespeare. "Who is William Shakespeare and why is he getting away with murder?" Fun, funny interactive, irreverent, improvisation, celebration of theater itself! Imagine the Reduced Shakespeare Company reducing its cast to one person.
