Event details

“We’re adding to the story, giving you all the gory details…”

Following a sell-out run, four of Shakespeare’s (in)famous characters are back for a national tour, ready to tell their side of the story.

Join them as they blow the dust off the classics to stage a multi-art form political occupation of stories steeped in racism, patriarchy and violence.

Armed with punchy verses, punky attitudes, and whole lotta wit – let’s rip out the pages, raise the roof, and rise up!


Written and directed by Ameera Conrad.

Supported by Unity Theatre, Arts Council England, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Granada Foundation, The Coutts Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation, and Liverpool City Council.

All performances of this show include creative captioning and integrated audio description – the matinee performance at Storyhouse will include BSL interpretation.

Age Recommendation: 14+

Content Warnings: Discussions around gender, violence, patricide, suicide, war, murder, racism, patriarchy, I mean, listen, it’s Shakespeare. It will also be funny, light, and just a bit tongue-in-cheek.
