Applause Rural Touring: Suitcase Shakespeare
In Suitcase Shakespeare two actors bring to life an entire Shakespeare play using only what’s in their suitcases!
You can expect side-splitting comedy and toe-tapping live music in these two fantastic 45 minute versions of Shakespeare’s most popular plays! Choose from Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth or have a double bill of them both.
Full of music and laughs, they have toured the UK and catered for many scenarios; outdoor festivals, tents, schools, village halls, theatres, pubs and pretty much anywhere else you can think of!
Suitable for all ages.
Supported by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund.
