A magically entwined journey with Shakespeare’s most famous and infamous characters, drawing on his deep darkness and the wondrous light that creates his “shadows”.
Drawing on plays such as MacBeth, A Comedy of Errors, King Lear, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, actors will inhabit the very best of Shakespeare’s roles as they dive deep intoscenes that take us through the darkness of human experience…and into the light.
Interested performers who are not already part of Lights Up! Theatre Company should read through our audition page and submit a company assessment video to be considered for Shakespeare casting.
