Kill Shakespeare pits The Bard's greatest heroes: Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, and Falstaff, against his menacing villains: Richard III, Lady Macbeth, and Iago. In this hilarious and epic adventure, the characters go on the search to find the mysterious and reclusive wizard, William Shakespeare, who controls their destinies.

SSC and PVS will host the live radio play at The Kraine Theater on Sunday, May 11th, at 7pm. Drinks will be available during the performance and well as a raffle after the show to win original Kill Shakespeare prizes and memorabilia. Raffle sponsors include: Forbidden Planet, Brooklyn Brewery, Midtown Comics and many more. Tickets for Kill Shakespeare are $22 each and can be purchased through SSC's website at www.shrunkenshakespeare.com.

PVS will be teaming up with SSC's artistic team and company members for the Kill Shakespeare collaboration. The production team includes SSC co-producing artistic directors Yvonne Cone and Jennifer Martina, PVS producer Sketkh Williams, SSC production manager Christian Lemay, and SSC company manager Amanda Baumler.
