Closeby William Shakespeare
in a version by Carl Heap
“Songs, jokes, slapstick, love, sword fights and all at a giddying pace – this is the perfect way to introduce kids to Shakespeare.” Suit Yourself Magazine
Ages: 8+
70mins
The previously listed evening performance on Thu 6 May has been cancelled
Nothing that is so is so.
A stormy night, a shipwreck, some cunning capers and concealments.
All of this results in a love tangle to rival no other and a whole heap of mischief and mayhem in Shakespeare’s most captivating comedy.
Carl Heap, director and creator of productions at the Arts Centre including The 1966 World Cup Final and Jason and the Argonauts returns with this National Theatre production especially made for younger audiences or for those new to Shakespeare (or indeed those who just enjoy a condensed version of the Bard’s play).
Seven actors play multiple characters and instruments in this engaging and inventive production. Perhaps the best introduction for a child, not only to Shakespeare, but to the transforming magic of theatre itself.
