Migrant actors take on some of Shakespeare’s most iconic speeches! This is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen him before – ‘trippingly on the tongue’. They offer audiences a peep into the lives of the culturally marginalised. And they ask: what happens to the Bard when he is migrated to an alien environment?
Hamlet is a meat-packer, King Lear a construction worker, Caliban a hotel cleaner, Lady Macbeth a housewife looking after children and Shylock washes the dishes in a restaurant...
This is no one Bard: Shakespeare belongs to no one and he belongs to everyone.
