Shakespeare On The Spot
Crescent Theatre20 Sheepcote Street, Birmingham
Tomorrow · 19:15
About this event
The world clearly hasn’t enough Shakespeare, so this solo show creates some more based on audience suggestions. Your host Stephen Longstaffe (former university Shakespeare lecturer and current idiot) will transform whatever the Birmingham muses bring into new iambic speeches and dialogues by some of the bard's most famous characters. Bring an item along and challenge the speaker to create a Shakespearean speech around it. (Please note no asps, daggers or skulls are permitted in the venue.) 'This dramatic high-wire act is amazing to witness' **** Lancaster Guardian. Support: The Behind The Headlines players present Anthony & Cleopatra (very abridged)
