Ever wondered what would happen if the characters of Shakespeare had to team up to stop a Papal Inquisitor? We thought not, but how cool would that be? The Pope is due to deliver an address to stop Queen Elizabeth I from converting England from Catholicism to Protestantism. Desperate to stop this, she hires Shakespeare to write a play to disrupt the address. He must gather together his greatest characters, and Brutus, to write and perform a play in six days. Meanwhile, the High Inquisitor learns of this plan, and sets about a scheme of his own.

63 of the most eye-catching show titles at the Fringe
Whilst we put together our official picks of the Edinburgh Festival (coming very soon), we take a cheeky look at some of the best show titles that caught our eye:
Ben Hewis, What's On Stage, 9th June 2014More details
For nine nights only Shakespeare's Avengers have assemblethed.
This ridiculous comedy begins in fifteen something something when the Pope is due to deliver an address to stop Queen Elizabeth I from converting England from Catholicism to Protestantism.
Desperate to stop this, she hires William Shakespeare to write a play to disrupt the papal address. He must gather together his greatest characters, and Brutus, to write and perform a play in six days.
Meanwhile in the Vatican the Papal High Inquisitor learns of this plan, and sets about a scheme of his own. Will everything come together in time and will Shakespeare's least famous play "Philip the protestant cat and his journey from hardship to salvation" help shape the course of English history?
