Spooky Shakespeare Suitcase Theatre
By Gemma Curry – after William Shakespeare
Hags, hauntings, hobgoblins and more emerge from the spooky suitcase owned by Lady Macbeth (Dotty to her friends).
These spectres from performances past need to retell their stories before they can find peace in the literary afterlife. But are they friends or will we need to be vanquished back into the supernatural suitcase?
Join Hoglets Theatre for a funny, energetic and unique children’s theatre experience; a world of hand-made puppets, music and storytelling, all performed from a single suitcase.
Details
This production is aimed at primary children - and no prior knowledge of Shakespeare is required! The production is designed to be a fun, silly, “spooky” show - with no jump scares, but as we’re covering Macbeth, and Hamlet amongst others, there will be mentions of death and murder, ghosts, witches and monsters. All children are different so please consider this when booking.
Running time approx 30 minutes.
Written, constructed and performed by Gemma Curry (with some help from William Shakespeare)
Music by Andy Curry
