Adapters: Chuck Wilcox

About this script
Chuck Wilcox’s Wild-West adaptation of a Shakespeare foundation — one of the two example scripts named in Alternative Four of Creating Fearless Shakespeare Scripts. Wilcox transposes setting, dialect, and stakes into a frontier idiom while keeping the underlying dramatic architecture Shakespeare’s.
Chuck Wilcox is one of the guides honored in our Shakespeare section — see his story on Honoring Our Guides (Kent in Benedetti’s Lear; co-inventor of Shakespeare on the Green with Richard Devin).
