This imaginative adaptation asks the question you've always wanted an answer to: "What if Shakespeare had written Pulp Fiction?" Set in Elizabethan England, Pulp Shakespeare weaves the story of a pair of murderous hit men, their boss's alluring wife and a desperate knight, all brought to life by a cast of acclaimed Los Angeles Shakespearean actors. Clever and hysterical, this production is the work of Her Majesty's Secret Players and allows audiences to experience the Bard on a whole new level. Learn More

Very talented cast - and a fun evening. But this really has NOTHING to do with Sondheim - couldn't recognize anything Sondheim and several of the cast did not have very good voices. The only reason you would come to this show would to see fun improv but Sondheim fans beware....Written on Nov 23 2009

My wife and I enjoyed the Sondheim Unscripted performance on Opening Night. The performers worked extremely well together. The Keyboard player was very good as well!Written on Oct 19 2009
We have attended Jane Austen Unscripted and look forward to Shakespeare Unscripted later this year.

RE 11/22 show. I am an music improviser. This was a weak attempt at improvising in the style of melted-down-Sondheim. Very good pianist but he should encourage more of Sondheim's marvelous chord chemistry. Most of the vocals were either weak or un-pitched. My wife was heavily offended by the Girl 'Shooter'. Quite offensive. Question, was the shows topic, "Last Call" pitched by prearrangement? I would have preferred, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Health Care"Written on Nov 24 2009
Now that might have endeavored some serious IMPROV!
