MACK TO THE PAST – 30 MINUTE COMEDY FOR TEENS
Mack, a teen from Elizabethan/ Shakespearean England, is transported forward in time by none other than the mischievous Puck from Shakespeare A Midsummer Night’s Dream to a 21st Century middle school. He finds himself in a very peculiar place indeed and with people that seem to speak an entirely different language! He must get help from the students to travel back to the past where and when he belongs. This is a 30 minute comedy for teens. It includes some Shakespearean Quotes and Shakespearean type language and a lot of allusions to the 1980s movie Back to the Future. It can be cast with as few as 11 actors, or it can be expanded to include more. Many of the roles can be adapted for boys or girls.
Mack to the Past was written for the 2019 Virginia Beach Public Schools’ One Act Play Festival, and was performed by a cast and crew of 18 students from Virginia Beach Middle School. The judges’ panel was very impressed with the performance and ranked it Superior.
