New Plays with a Shakespeare Foundation
Original scripts built on Shakespeare’s dramatic architecture — new settings, new dialects, new stakes, faithful bones.
The best-known example is West Side Story (Bernstein & Sondheim), which transplants Romeo and Juliet’s scaffolding into 1950s New York. Our section includes two DT:FC-family New Plays: Chuck Wilcox’s Wild-West The Ballad of Three Finger Dick, and Marta Barnard’s Shakespeare’s Sister — a two-woman piece that was, one evening, performed by one.
See Alternative Four of Creating Fearless Shakespeare Scripts for the full framing.
