In the 1590s, inspired by the success of the hottest playwright of their era, two brothers set out to write their own hit play. Along the way, they receive a vision of the future saying that the next generation of stage performances will feature not only acting, but also singing and dancing. So the brothers put their minds to creating the world's first musical.
"Something Rotten," presented by Kent State's School of Theatre and Dance, opened on Feb. 20 and will run through Mar. 1, with performances in Kent State's E. Turner Stump Theatre. Another Shakespeare-themed production, "The Book of Will" is coming to Kent State's Wright-Curtis Theatre, Apr. 17-26.
