Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company as they put on a frantic disposition to tackle Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy in their own anarchic style. With live music, audience interaction, abridged mayhem and a mix of comic and tragic turns, there’s only one question: To be there, or to be square? Running time 140 minutes (including a 20 minute interval).
The Pantaloons
The Pantaloons are a young and dynamic theatre company comprising graduates of Kent University. They aim to recapture an aspect of drama which modern naturalistic theatre has lost: the riotous energy of the clown. Tapping into this rich vein of anarchic humour can have a strangely moving and uplifting effect and it also reminds us that we are all simply participants in a game of make-believe. Their productions are entertaining, accessible and intelligent productions of classical texts for audiences, whatever their level of familiarity with such works. 'Part alternative rock band, part thespian, part performance art, the result is wholly charming' (The Times).
