Comedy series set in the world of a collegiate Shakespeare competition. Hal, a Shakespeare-obsessed Midwesterner, makes it to the finals only to discover that the road to victory is often paved with douchebag-ery.
Racing against the clock to study his cold read, Hal is forced to confront James. Hal performs his monologue at the gala, despite some sabotage. The judges deliberate, and James announces the winner.
