Pop up Shakespeare for the Paralympics
"If you’re in London during the Paralympic Games and you happen to overhear a pair plotting—in Elizabethan English—to assassinate a monarch, you needn’t be alarmed." reports Good
Created by award-winning actor Mark Rylance, Shakespearean characters, initially indistinguishable from the crowd, will suddenly emerge at London's cultural hot-spots.
Using Shakespeare's famous and exquisite Elizabethan speeches they will be on a mission to surprise and delight Londoners and the capital's visitors with personalised one-to-one performances and flash mob moments.
Amongst those appearing on London's streets will be Puck, Hamlet, Cleopatra, Juliet and other characters, played by 50 actors aged 17 to 70, who have been cast by Shakespeare's Globe and include deaf and disabled artists. They will perform brief, intimate interactions with the public before disappearing back into the crowd.
Let us know if you spot one...Take a picture!
