Twice the Usual Number of Suspects

Overview

A movie double bill for the theatre! Two classics are given a delightful twist in this evening of farce with a large and flexible cast. Shakespeare, Sophocles, Humphrey Bogart, and the Marx Brothers all collide in this daffy entertainment. Each play can also be produced on its own, making a one-act comedy ideal for contest use.

Collection includes:
Richard Blaine, The Merchant Of Morocco or, If Shakespeare Had Written Casablanca
and Cocoanut Soup At The Palace or, If the Marx Brothers Had Performed "Oedipus The King"
