Rebecca Wright was bitten by the acting bug early in life but began writing at the age of 12. A jack of all trades she finally penned her first play, ironically named "Pen" in 2005. She wrote her first full play, "Dining With Hamlet" in 2006. While attending grad school she wrote Ladies Night, Last Rites, and My Mr. Lincoln. Though she can get a bit serious, her writing is usually comedic.

Dining With Hamlet

Synopsis:
An old inventor has created a machine that can bring fully-imagined characters to life and he began with Shakespeare. the only problem is he can't figure out how to get them back. Now he and his wife are playing host to Romeo, Beatrice and Benedick, Hamlet, and Viola and the characters, ripped from their plotlines begin to react against character. Hilarity ensues as Romeo becomes a villain, Hamlet becomes a lover, and all the characters still can't see that Cesario is just Viola dressed in a boy's jacket and hat because they're just written that way.
