Shakespeare or the Devil

Infamous forger William Henry Ireland returns to the theatre for one night only to confess his crimes and entertain the audience with the story of how he fooled the best minds in England into thinking he had uncovered a previously unknown play by Shakespeare. To pull off this feat, he had to lie, scheme, and even betray his own father, but all's well that ends well... isn't it? (co-written with Matt Bird)
