'Shakespeare Showcase'
venues
Shakespeare House
Date
11th & 12 November 2017
Director
James Dean
A raging storm casts a prince across the sea, a knight stands up for hated immigrants, roles are reversed in the forest of Arden and a killer woos his victim’s spouse...
Director James Dean took us into uncharted territory when he presented this showcase of intriguing scenes from Shakespearean plays. The first half consisted of scenes from the few plays in the bard's canon that DSTC has yet to produce in full while the second half was made up of some familiar scenes given unexpected twists.
The intimacy of Shakespeare House gave audiences a chance to get close to the ensemble cast of over twenty old and new members, both experienced Shakespearean actors and those new to Shakespeare, in this one-of-a-kind production!
