The Play’s The Thing is a storytelling game about actors who want to rewrite the Shakespearean roles they’ve been given.
Description:
You and your friends tell the story of an acting troupe that is scheduled to perform a new play, but has a lot of disagreements about how that play should go. While the Playwright might present you with a classic Shakespearean folio, you’ll use your imagination and wit to craft new events and excitement in old stories. In The Play’s The Thing, one player takes on the role of the Playwright, the writer and director of the Play, and the rest of you portray Actors (Hams, Leads, Villains, and Ingenues) who are cast in roles. As you work your way through the Acts of the Play, you’ll suggest changes that the Playwright has to incorporate into the work, making The Bard’s stories even better.

You’re among the lowest of the low, but even the lowly have some pride. You are the Rat King, London’s strangest beggar, and his outcast allies, out to avenge the death of one of your few friends.
Description:
Cat Hollis was a sweet girl who shared the cellar with all of you. The Rat King saw three well-dressed gentlemen accost her in an alley. The police won’t listen to the likes of you, however. You’ve fallen too far to be believable. If there’s going to be any justice for Cat, it’s up to you to provide it. You will find ways to use your odd but considerable talents to find Cat’s attackers, and then bring them to justice, however you choose. You’re the wretched and lowly of the earth, but a few posh gentlemen are about to discover that even gutter rats have teeth. Of course, it might help if you also had allies or weapons. Being able to go out on the streets without making little children run away in terror would be nice, too, but you can’t have everything.
A lot of bad hooch gets slung in the juice joints, but don't believe the baloney. So when New York's big cheese sends you down to the docks, don't take no wooden nickels, bring back the real McCoy!
