Family Shakespeare: Pyramus & Thisbe - April
The Rude Mechanicals have been asked to perform a play at the Duke's wedding. Trouble is, they've forgotten to write it! Can you help?
Do you remember Pyramus & Thisbe? The romantic tragedy that Bottom & The Rude Mechanicals were asked to perform for the Duke in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM? In this interactive theatre experience, the audience put their heads together to add the finishing touches to the Rude Mechanicals’ play, helping to create a completely original version!
Combining Shakespeare’s original text with fresh ideas from the audience, the play is fleshed out with music, props, puppets, rhymes, sound effects & killer dance moves, resulting in a completely fabulous and totally unique performance!
Each show follows a simple narrative structure that the audience helps to develop, encouraging kids to use their imagination as they help to construct characters, write songs, create stories, invent sound effects and more. Each choice enhances their storytelling skills, exposes them to the infinite possible storylines a tale can take, and leaves them with a huge sense of pride in their comedy, musicality and creativity. And because so much of the show is led by the audience, you'll never see the same show twice!
Our shows can be enjoyed by kids of all ages, and grown-ups too! For participation, the show is best suited for ages 5 years and above; but for younger audiences, there is plenty of music, colour, and silly comedy to be the perfect spectacle from a lap!
