If you’ve been allergic to Shakespeare up until now, this show is the perfect remedy!
A bold, irreverent romp through all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays. Blazing hilarity that aims to out-Python Monty! In a world where we constantly lament that we are “time-poor”, who has the time or indeed the stamina to endure the daunting length of the Immortal Bard’s canon? Three brave actors brazenly blend the best of the brilliant Bard with the bottom of the absurdity barrel in this farcical feast of inspired lunacy. A side-splitting roller-coaster ride involving improvisation, pop culture and audience participation, as well as the fastest, funniest “Hamlet” you’re ever likely to see.
These three guys are making it up as they go along, getting by on blind enthusiasm and boundless energy in a performance that William Shatner…er, Shakespeare…himself would be proud of.
In a production bursting with comic energy and featuring appearances by sock puppets and sharks, vampires and dinosaurs, severed heads, kilted poltergeists, lobotomies, really ugly wigs and a fair bit of projectile vomiting, it’s guaranteed to convert even the most resistant to the many splendours of Shakespeare.
May the Bard be with you!
