SHAKESPEARE (ISH)

Commissioned by the City of Santa Monica and City of West Hollywood.



SHAKESPEARE SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED


In this hyper-fun, hyper-family-friendly performance, Rogue Artists Ensemble’s HYPERBOLE: bard takes Shakespeare’s best characters, poetry, and plot devices and shuffles them up, twists them around, and shakes them down. Remixing Shakespeare with intricate mask work, original puppets, and live music, the Rogues dig down to the heart of the Bard, sharing the joys, the sorrows, and the non-stop action that everyone, from kids to Shakespeare aficionados, loves about the greatest playwright of all time.

PRESS

“This irreverent take on Shakespeare’s canon of work by Rogue Artists Ensemble doesn’t feature the keenest satire, but its combined display of puppets (Cristina Bercovitz and Sean T. Cawelti), masks (Sean T. Cawelti and Jack Pullman), zany costumes (Lori Meeker) and props (Brittany Blouch) make it colorful and entertaining.” - Stage Raw
