Fakespeare was a mainstage show at The Hideout Theatre. It was a slight variation on previous runs of Improvised Shakespeare.
Summary
Fakespeare included a scripted show run in July, in which Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth were presented in repertory, and then an improvised run in August, which varied from the traditional "improvise a play" format of Improvised Shakespeare, instead borrowing elements from previous Hideout shows such as Process, Live Nude Improv, and Fandom. The same fifteen performers put on Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, and the improvised run.
Jordan T. Maxwell directed Macbeth. Andy Crouch directed Much Ado About Nothing and improvised run, and managed the overall production.
