Description

Twelve Night, Julius Caesar, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Macbeth, and The Tempest are reimagined in a fresh way. Malvolio, Cinna, Peaseblossom, Banquo, and Caliban tell their stories, each in a solo-show written for younger audiences by acclaimed playwright Tim Crouch. These five characters break free from the constraints of iambic pentameter to speak their truth. Fusing Shakespeare with meta-theatre, multimedia, creative tasks, and philosophical playfulness, Crouch brings a new perspective to some of theatre's most well-known stories. The I, Shakespeare collection offers a unique approach to these plays, finding parallels between the Bard's time and present day. The book includes an introduction by Tim Crouch that explains the origin of the five plays and their performance processes.
