1595, London: Nick Bottom longs to write a hit play with his brother Nigel and break out of the shadow of The Bard. Hiring a soothsayer, Nick learns that the most fantastic thing that will ever grace the stage is something called “a musical!” When Nick desires more and more insight into what will make his show a success, and Nigel discovers a forbidden love, the brothers must discover the meaning of “to thine own self be true.” Something Rotten—the 2015 hit musical by Karey Kirkpatrick, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and John O’Farrell—combines Shakespeare and musical theatre to create a joyful, hilarious, tap-happy satire about authenticity and dreaming big in Renaissance England.

Special thanks to Hanh Kratz, Design Engineer in the CLAS Biology Engineering Shop.
