'Home Made Shakespeare' - Nola Rae
Nola Rae is an artist of international standing and is one of the most unique performers in modern British Theatre. Her style, using a mix of mime, dance, comedy and puppetry, bound by a razor sharp wit, reaches out and touches an audience at all levels. Few can hold a stage with such absolute ease and without a word spoken. Nola Rae ( London Mime Theatre) and Lasse Åkerlund (Teater Alllena, Sweden) join forces to perform an evening of choice Shakespearean morsels. 'Macbeth' - A mad version of Shakespeare's murderous Scotttsh Play by Lasse Åkerlund set on a table and played by his lunch. 'The Tragedy of Handlet' Nola Rae's famous version of Shakespear'e Hamlet for two gloved hands.' Romeo and Juliet' Shakespeare's bitter sweet Italian Play where two tragic lovers are found discarded in separate dustbins and animated by two rival clowns who like to rummage. Nola Rae and Lasse Åkerflund are very experienced storytellers whose art takes the audience on a roller coaster ride of the imagination, in which Macbeth can be played convincingly by a tomato, Ophelia can be wrung out after drowning, before being buried in cat litter and Romeo can, and is - played by a brown paper bag!Date: 04/06/09
