Shakespeare’s Youth
After the highly successful tours of
Shakespeare on Love and
Shakespeare’s Comedies, this year Theatre by the Bay brings you a
brand new show called
Shakespeare’s Youth . Follow the toils
and tribulations of the teens and children in Shakespeare’s plays
as he shows, once again, his incredible insight into our common
times. School-age audiences will immediately relate to the
situations that Shakespeare’s youth find themselves in:
schoolyard bullying, absentee parents and first love are just a
few of themes that will be discussed by using scenes from some
of his most popular plays (including Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth
Night, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet and many more).
Join us for a highly entertaining and educational performance
that will be sure to re-introduce young audiences to a
Shakespeare they thought they knew. Each performance is 45 minutes in length and is appropriate for grades 3-12.
(Adaptations to the script are made according to age appropriateness).
Shakespeare’s Youth intermingles contemporary language and
Shakespeare’s poetry, finding a way to make Shakespeare’s plays
accessible and engaging for the TV generation. The show is
available for booking from April 28th – June 6th, 2008.
