Shakespeare Cut and in One Piece
About the play:
“Double, double, toil and trouble”: this is the true story of Shakespeare’s plays.
When a young playwright travels the British Isles seeking inspiration for his next play, he gets lost in the isolated hills of the Highlands and comes across three sisters performing a play. Recognising their genius, he steals their plays, turns them into theatrical hits under his own name, William Shakespeare, and suppresses their real potential. But Shakespeare has underestimated his ‘weird’ sisters: the three witches, well-known from his version of Macbeth, are ready to take back control of their own stories. On a dark and ominous Scottish night, the witches conjure up the original versions of all their plays and present them to their audience: raw, anarchic, subversive, and unfiltered!
The Red Brick Company are back with their original self-penned presentation of Shakespeare’s complete dramatic works, hosted by the witches and shot through with bawdy comedy, spectacular sword fights, and musical stunts. If you know Shakespeare, you will love it – and if you don’t know him, you will love it, too!
Premiere: June 27, 8 pm. Further shows: June 28 & July 2/ 5/ 9, 8pm.
