Free Will - A Shakespeare slam. SAT• SEPT 11th • 4PM. I am the emcee, and finally find a positive use for my Sub-clinical Shakespearean Tourette's Syndrome (SSTS -uh,huh. Look it up in the DSM-IV).

Robert Fairchild will do a fabulous mash-up of Henry IV and a personal story. Titania's "forgeries of jealousy" offer me a chance to vent my spleen, poetically.

Everyone who shows up is encouraged to pick up a script and belt out any speech they want from the Plays. People can read scenes, monologues, sonnets, or rants and stories about the Plays. There is no judging, and no training required. The crowd will cheer deliriously for everyone. You have permission to speak the speech here, no matter how much you fear it.

The show will include:

Five Versions of the Witches: five takes on the weird sisters

Food of Love: William Shatner doing the opening of Twelfth Night

Dane of the Dead: the zombie movie hidden inside Hamlet

At The Burren, 247 Elm St., Somerville, at the Davis Square T - a relaxed restaurant/Irish pub with a large back room and a stage.
