Do a shakespeare play in three minutes. Or, document the king lear production, thus making a shakespeare play in three minutes. Just because the bastard edited Purple rain doesn't mean the fucking world revolves around him. There is one too many arrogant has-been's in that department...

That is actually a brilliant idea! He will probably fail me, but it is a brilliant idea.

Hamlet

[readshkspre]

Does it have sound? Does it have to be original?
Basic 3 minute plot can be like the dumb show within Hamlet:
Man and Woman in Garden. Man sleeps, woman kisses him and leaves. Evil man enters, poisions sleeper and takes crown. Woman comes in, laments his death. At first, she refuses evil man's advances, then marries him. Sulky Hamlet, son of woman and nephew to evil man who is now king. He wants to kill man. He shrugs off Ophelia's attentions, eludes cronies of the king, goes mad. King orders him away from the kingdom. Ophelia goes mad and dies (drowns.) Hamlet returns, mourns the dead. Brother to Ophelia (can be double cast as old king) challenges him to a duel. They wound each other, queen accidentally drinks poision, Hamlet kills king, and everyone dies.
You'd need: 2 girls (queen and Oph)
and 3 boys (or girls dressed as boys) to play king/Laertes, Hamlet, and evil king
