MERELY THEATRE

presents

ROMEO & JULIET and TWELFTH NIGHT

Tuesday 21st February -  25th May 2017

Merely Theatre are embarking on their second UK tour this Spring taking these two shows to seventeen venues across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Please see their website www.merelytheatre.co.uk for full tour details.

Two classic
 Shakespeare plays in a unique stripped back style.

“I laughed from start to finish and came away with a whole new appreciation for the work of Shakespeare”
North West End ****


The most talked about new Shakespeare company in the UK, Merely Theatre has honed a style that strips the Bard back to basics - no gauche sets, frilly collars or fussy props; just the actors, the audience and the text.
Now the company are stripping back something more profound; the concept of gender. Will you see a female Malvolio, or a male Juliet? Who knows…


"Confidence, energy and endless invention”
Eastbourne Herald


​
ROMEO AND JULIET tells the well-known story of young Romeo falling for the beautiful Juliet. The tale of love and innocence is portrayed by just five actors.  The show uses urgency, humour and clarity to depict love in all its raw and savage beauty.


"The first reaction, when the play begins, is to think ‘How can it be so clear? This can’t be right? Is this really  Shakespeare?’”
Theatre South


TWELFTH NIGHT playfully depicts what happens when unlikely lovers come crashing together. This energetic production of Shakespeare uses imagination and innovation to present identical twins, multiple disguises and mistaken identity in this riotous and deeply tender comedy.

“Wreaking havoc and inducing raucous laughter”
Edinburgh Guide


In Merely Theatre's new touring shows, each actor is twinned by another actor of the opposite gender, and they rehearse their parts together. The result is men and women playing every role in any and all potential combinations, creating five-hand Shakespeare plays with immense energy, pace and clarity.
