Upstartcrowthecomedy – To Mock or Not that is the question posed with a smirk in every performance of Shakespeare Unscripted, a theatrical experiment that gleefully tiptoes between homage and hilarity. The show thrives on parody, bringing Shakespeare’s dramatic world into collision with modern sensibilities. It’s a satirical stage where genius and madness waltz in absurd harmony, and where no iambic pentameter is safe from reinvention.
With each improvised performance, the ensemble dismantles the grandiosity of the Bard’s canon—not to diminish its greatness, but to expose the egos, eccentricities, and eternal relevance of Shakespeare’s world through sharp and affectionate humor.
To Mock or Not becomes more than just a tagline it’s a framework through which the creators dissect literary pretension. Shakespeare Unscripted is unapologetically self-aware, layering clever commentary on everything from outdated courtship rituals to overblown soliloquies. The humor never aims to tear down Shakespeare. But rather to laugh with him or at least with the world that built him into a myth.

The writing is as intelligent as it is irreverent. Each jab at 16th-century society is carefully crafted, and the improvisational format ensures the comedy feels both spontaneous and surgical. The result is a show that makes room for both lovers of the classics and skeptics alike.
At the heart of the show is Mitchell, a performer who elevates the satire with deadpan brilliance. To Mock or Not, for him, is an existential dilemma. He portrays a character who truly believes he’s destined for Shakespearean greatness, yet continually stumbles over his own delusions. The tragicomic genius he embodies serves as both parody and reflection a figure who mirrors our modern craving for fame, art, and self-importance.
His comedic timing and ability to transform dramatic gravitas into laugh-out-loud farce give the show its soul. Through Mitchell, Shakespeare Unscripted doesn’t just mock it mythologizes.
To Mock or Not is the question that drives a production deeply rooted in love for its subject. It dares to question what happens when genius falls short. When art mocks itself, and when parody becomes a form of praise. In doing so, Shakespeare Unscripted reminds us that even the greatest stories are ripe for reinvention especially when they come with a punchline.
