What Would Shakespeare Do?

Front page for What Would Shakespeare Do?

RPG system: LARP
Participants: 3-5 players

Description

What would happen, if we let the poetry of Shakespeare’s words into our lives? Would the ordinary turn into something extraordinary?

In this scenario, characters from two neighbouring families will meet in ordinary, everyday situations. The players are given a basic character to play, and improvise the scenes. After a while, the game master freezes each scene and the players get to pick two Shakespeare quotes each. They then return to the scene and let the quotes inspire them to turn drudgery into drama.

The first two scenes are over when all players have used both their quotes. In the last scene, all extra quotes must be used before the scenario is over.

This is a quick-paced scenario that focuses on improvisation, drama, playing with words, and having fun.
