Shakespeare Unplugged

A new way of understanding Shakespeare's universal appeal

Two friends meet in a bar to watch the football. A technical hitch blows the TV and they resort to a clockwork radio. Not finding the match they stumble across a broadcast of A Midsummer Night´s Dream. They get engrossed and begin to chat about Shakespeare and their relationship with him. They relate to the audience as if they too are punters in the bar. They gradually morph into “Rude Mechanicals” – humble players from the Chamberlain’s and King’s Men who closely worked with Shakespeare himself. The barman is in love, but shy and in need of inspiration…

A fun and enchanting way of enjoying Shakespeare's universal appeal.
We are excited to present what is a world premiere.
