Shakespeare Unplugged

Urpremiere

Two blokes meet in a bar watching the footie. A technical hitch blows the TV and they resort to the digital radio. Not finding the match they stumble across a broadcast of A Midsummer Night´s Dream which is ending. They get engrossed and begin to chat about Shakespeare. They relate to the audience as if they too are punters in the bar. They gradually morph into Pistol and Bardolph and talk as if they are actors from the Chamberlain’s/King’s Men who knew Shakespeare and then the drama begins.
