In the year which celebrates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, RomaEuropa presents one of the most original works of Forced Entertainment: Complete works: Table Top Shakespeare.
A salt and pepper pot for the king and queen. A ruler for the prince. A spoon for the servant. Lighter fluid for the Innkeeper. A water bottle for the messenger… In Complete Works six performers create condensed versions of every Shakespeare play ever written, comically and intimately retelling them using a collection of everyday unextraordinary objects on the one metre stage of a table top.
Forced Entertainment have long had an obsession with virtual or described performance, exploring in different ways over the years the possibilities of conjuring extraordinary scenes, images and narratives using language alone. In a brand new direction for the company, Complete Works explored the dynamic force of narrative in a simple and idiosyncratic summary of Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies, histories and late plays, creating worlds as vivid as they are strange.
Saturday and Sunday h 3-4-5-7-8-9 pm, from Tuesday to Friday h 7-8-9 pm
Performed in English.
