Put four of Shakespeare’s tragic characters together in a self-help group, and you get a smart, laugh-out-loud, one-act comedy that’s also quite educational!
Tragic characters Ophelia, Romeo, Juliet, and Lady Anne seek support through a Tragedians Anonymous group led by Prospero, where the meeting’s theme is “Identify those who wrong us and those who we wrong.” The characters proceed to confront the other characters in their plays as well as their own fatal flaws, who come to life onstage (though nobody can quite identify Hamlet’s fatal flaw). When Anne’s confrontation gets her nowhere with Claudius, she seeks a revenge that threatens all the characters’ very existence! Ultimately, all the characters, including Anne, accept their tragic fates, understanding that their outrageous fortune has helped people for centuries with profound lessons by which to live their own lives.
This is a fantastic comic tribute to Shakespeare’s tragedies that also re-familiarizes us with the storylines and characters from three of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies. Salomonsson studied at the National Shakespeare Conservatory and has combined her loves for Shakespeare, teaching, and writing in condensing her full-length play, Outrageous Fortune, into this delightful, one-act masterpiece.
