Shakespeare by Any Other Name is a collection of two-act plays for
teenagers. Set in different time periods and places, their plots,
nevertheless, mirror the story lines of five favorite plays by
Shakespeare: Twelfth Night, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest,
As You Like It, and Cymbeline. "Circle Dance" delivers the zany
bewilderment of love that one might see in Shakespeare's comedy
Twelfth Night. "Bob Weaver and the Teen Angel" takes its characters
and plot from Midsummer Night's Dream. True to the setting of the
play, all of its musical numbers are top of the chart songs of the
1960s. "The Gentle Art of Reappearing," which parallels
Shakespeare's last play The Tempest, involves a different kind of
storm on the island of Galveston, Texas. "Games" gives the audience
a modern look at Shakespeare's As You Like It with a delightful
romantic romp through another Forest of Arden, the piney woods of
East Texas. As a spin-off of Cymbeline, "Imogen's War" takes place
in 1918 in England and France at the end of WW I with the signing
of the Armistice and the resolution of a family feud. For
adolescent lovers of Shakespeare, these plays offer a twist from
the classic versions of his plays. Not to be confused as
alternatives-the Bard is inimitable-Shakespeare by any other name
might still seem as sweet.
