11th Annual 48-hour Play Festival: ShakesFluencer

What happens when famous influencers get dropped into a Shakespeare play?

Oberon takes pointers from Leo Messi? Beatrice and Benedick get set up by Ariana Grande?! Macbeth is swayed by… Coco Chanel?!? Anything can happen at Silicon Valley Shakespeare’s 11TH ANNUAL 48-HOUR PLAY FESTIVAL, co-produced with the Foothill College Theatre Arts Department. Join us as our writers explore what happens when famous Shakespearean plays meet notable characters of influence who don’t belong in their stories!

Teams are assigned and writers draw, at random, a Shakespeare play and an influencer element on which to base their script. All teams will also be given a required line of dialogue, prop, and surprise requirement to incorporate into their pieces.

Audiences decide which play is the festival favorite!
