About this Event
Come and cheer on your friends as they perform a 60-minute Shakespeare play with no rehearsal, the parts assigned at random!
What if performing in a Shakespeare play could be more like doing karaoke? Get together with a few of your friends and just wing it with the words in front of you, having a blast despite being tone-deaf?
The tone-deaf punks from Elsewhere Shakespeare have created just that opportunity with their “Shakespeare Karaoke”.
Earlier in the day, participants of their workshop learned about the ways in which Elizabethan acting was actually pretty similar to doing karaoke and how to pick up on performance clues in Shakespeare’s text.
The workshop culminates in this unrehearsed public performance
