by John Murrell
A staged reading.
Murph is two months into his first university term and in way over his head. His mother, a dean at the university, has sent Murph to Prof for some private tutoring.
Prof is nearing the end of her academic career and unpopular with her students and fellow academics. Her only friend is one William Shakespeare and she is wary of sharing him with Murph, who thinks the titles of Shakespeare are too long.
Diving deep into Othello, Murph and Prof transcend their isolation and differences of age and discover a true, heartwarming friendship.
