An Infinite Monkey Attempts To Write the Complete Works of Shakespeare: A Variety Show

The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey given eternity and a typewriter will write the works of William Shakespeare. Even though one (arguably very famous) monkey already written it once already, our monkeys / performers will attempt the impossible, doing a full hour performance while also trying to prove the theorem. Armed with a typewriter and a monkey mask – no performance will be the same, with a wide variety of acts from music to improv, we will attempt the as yet impossible!
