A four person one hour adaptation of King John in an immersive classroom setting. King John explores what happens when leaders utterly fail to lead. What are the human repercussions of raw ambition especially ambition with no actual talent or ability?

Sarah plans to continue developing this adaption and is passionate about this rarely done play. She feels it is especially relevant in our current political climate. In 2020 she intends to workshop the adaption to develop an hour and a half 6 person version with a performance tbd.
