Ever thought about playing Hamlet when you were eleven or Lady Macbeth at twelve or simply being in a Shakespearian play? 
Griese Players, a group of young actors from 5th, 6th class and First Year, have their first encounter with Shakespeare in this comic story about a bored king and his troupe of players.
 
The King is utterly bored and the players turn to their copy of Shakespeare, with its mix of betrayal, courage, madness and mirth, in their desperate efforts to entertain the King and save their own necks!
