Zoom Theatre: “Frankie and Will” starring Michael Urie and Ryan Spahn (from 2020)

Always a pleasure to see actors Michael Urie (“Buyer and Cellar”) and Ryan Spahn (“Daniel’s Husband”) who are a real-life couple. Appreciate even more when we can see them in Talene Monaghan’s “Frankie and Will” a 30-minute play broadcast live over the Internet by MCC this evening.

In a reading filmed in the couple’s apartment, Urie (who definitely needs a haircut and a shave) plays “Will” Shakespeare, quarantining in a London flat (circa 1603) with “Frankie” (aka Francis Bacon) played as a toadying scribe by Spahn.

Some faintly amusing jokes about Shakespeare being a copycat (he plagiarizes a play called “King Leir,” changing the “i” to an “a”); somewhat funnier lines about Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare’s wife who has the same name as the actress); and more timely bitch-nifties about sourdough flour, and “Wicked,” the play everybody loved and I hated.

Not the best one-act play in the world but when Broadway is closed till September, all the world’s a stage. (Wednesday)
