Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare

Work:: Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare (S2130795900)

Forced Entertainment brings you the Complete Works like you've never seen it before, each of Shakespeare's 36 plays condensed and presented on a tabletop using a cast of everyday objects. A salt and pepper pot for the king and queen. A spoon stands in for a servant and a candle for the Friar. Macbeth becomes a cheese grater, Pericles a light bulb and Hamlet's now a bottle of ink. Theatre pioneers Forced Entertainment explore the dynamic force of narrative and language in their simple yet distinctive summary of the playwright's comedies, tragedies, histories and late works. With an artist from the company retelling each play over the course of a week, audiences can enjoy one or as many performances as they fancy. Intimate and scaled down, the worlds they create are vivid, accessible and often comic.
