If this summer's production of Hamlet at the Delacorte Theater left you craving more Elizabethan melodrama, the Improvised Shakespeare Company has a bagful of iambic pentameter with your name on it. The ensemble of linen-shirted thespians invites the audience to come up with a title for an imaginary play, and from there unspools an improvised tale of Oedipal love, clandestine maneuvers, and power-hungry royals. The freestyle production is undertaken with surprising faithfulness to the tone and language of the Bard, but with way more absurdity.
