If We Were Villains is about seven players whose performance-art imitates life—all the ego and betrayal and secrets that lead to a tragedy of Shakespearean proportion. These fourth-year actors have come from various corners of the world, but despite their different backgrounds, they have a single commonality—an obsession with Shakespearean performances. At this elite arts college, their final year together as a troupe seeks to answer the question about what moves a mostly innocent community to a more nefarious cult. What causes their stage-lives to unravel into their off-stage lives? Who’s playing the actors—the archetypal personas they’ve been assigned and immersed in for three years or the damaged, foolish Shakespearean addicts they are. And, finally, who or what is at fault for such a tragic ending—the characters’ own folly, living the “cult of excess,” Shakespeare himself, the pressure and expectations of elitism, or—simply—predetermined fate?… (altro)
