Sunday Reading: Shakespeare's Skull by Rich Rubin POSTPONED

The year, 1794; the place, London.

Frank Chambers is a young physician with a dwindling income and a penchant for gambling. Horace Walpole is a celebrated British aristocrat who believes genius is reflected by the shape of our skulls. Fate brings Frank and Horace together for a singular purpose: To steal the skull of the greatest literary genius of all time. Horace is hoping to prove his theory, while Frank is hoping for a few extra coins in his pocket. Will their hopes be realized or will unforeseen events flip them upside down?

Shakespeare’s Skull is a comedy based on a legend – a legend that may be closer to truth than to fiction.

Written by Rich Rubin

Directed by Matt Pavik

Featuring Parth R, James Luster, Victoria Spelman, Ian Kleckner, and Ted Rooney
