Touring at Piccolo Teatro di Milano from 15th to 21st of March 2010

This production, developed with two writers and a cast of three actors, explores a few of the most famous Shakespearian scenes from different angles. The dynamic and the power of Shakespearian language is set in a contemporary context on stage.

Two actors, running a radio programme on Shakespeare, are stuck in a Scottish radio station after a terrible disaster that has affected the whole world and possibly destroyed the entire population.
They don't know if there are any survivors...
They don't know if they will ever be able to go out again...
They can only wait...
Someone might be out there in the same situation. So they decide to continue to with the programme and perform Shakespeare for any possible listener.

Through their interactions with each other, the actors unconsciously begin to play out the themes inherent in the text until they reach a climax of conflict and truth within their own lives.

The observer will experience a thought provoking tapestry of Man's lighter and darker sides, which either enable or disable him to tread his path and fulfill his true potential.

The audience will witness some of its favorite scenes from Richard The Third, Measure for Measure, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar and others.

The production aims to target audiences from the age of 15 onwards. It is of particular interest to those studying English, Drama or Philosophy. However, it has appeal to any person having an interest in Classical Theatre and its relevance today.

Piccolo Theatre of Milan has bought this production and it will be performed in Milan for 1 week from 14^th to 21^st March 2010.
