Shakespeare Squared are excited to be using this time, between our large-scale productions, to be sharing new approaches to Shakespeare’s canon with Waterford performers and audiences.
Natasha Everitt, Kieran Walsh and Joe Meagher in Twelfth NIght, September 2023
With little time for rehearsal, preparation would mostly be private, and the performances would have come together in a spontaneous semi-improvised way. Using these original Shakespearian working practices Simon will lead workshops with local actors and, after only five days, our brave performers will be equipped to present unrehearsed scenes from some Shakespeare’s best loved plays live to an audience. |
Join us at the Theatre Royal on Thursday August 29th at 8pm to experience Shakespeare's most famous scenes performed by some of Waterford's finest actors... without rehearsal!
Shakespeare Squared are delighted to be working with Simon Purse, one of the UK’s experts on Shakespeare’s First Folio performance method. Simon’s work is based on the theory that, in Shakespeare’s day, actors were not given a complete copy of the play but that they worked from Parts (a Cue Script). |
