Merry Regiment of Women

A One-Act Comedy by Rae Shirley

Lady Macbeth is angry with Shakespeare; she’s fed up with women having hardly any decent roles and she’s going to do something about it. She can’t do it alone, so she calls a meeting with Desdemona, Cleopatra, Kate the ‘Shrew’, Juliet and her Nurse. Together they will make Shakespeare see the error of his ways. But Lady M is going to find out that though they may be small in number, Will’s women are not short of ideas and opinions, which they are only too happy to voice. Things only get more chaotic when their meeting is gatecrashed by some of those annoying male characters!
