Legend has it Shakespeare expired from a fever after a night of drinking. Raise your cups with the mysterious Bard of Avon in SHAKESPEARE’S LAST NIGHT OUT as he defends his authorship against doubting canker blossoms. Winner of the Ovation Award for Best Book of an Original Musical 2015, Hollywood Fringe Top of Fringe and Best Solo Performance, comes a bawdy journey of song, recounting the secret events and odd characters who shaped the greatest writer of all time.
“Shakespeare as a Rock Star…For sheer entertainment value and uncanny comic timing, Michael Shaw Fisher’s dozen-song impersonation of an alcoholic and dissipated Shakespeare on the eve of his death — defending his authorship from posterity’s naysayers — can’t be beat.” - LA Weekly
