Feature: Stage Reading Set for WHEN CHURCHYARDS YAWN: A Divine Comedy

The script is clever, replete with snide banter befitting a satire of the Bard’s illustrious tragedy. We meet the usual suspects - the upright, the guilty, and the aggrieved - primed to settle a score or two.

When Churchyards Yawn, a fast-paced, witty, and deeply felt 'divine comedy,' is the story of all the dead Hamlet characters' travails in Purgatory. The reading is free and takes place on July 16, 2022, at the Desert View High School black box theatre.

When Churchyards Yawn will feature stage direction read aloud for blind patrons, but will not feature a signer. After the July 16 reading, Simpson and her company will move forward with a full production, once all pandemic measures are fully lifted-a hopeful and cautious measure that echoes the play's overall message.
