Youth Theatre Double Bill (11-13's)
Event details
Storyhouse Youth Theatre presents a double bill of Shakespeare’s iconic plays ‘Romeo & Juliet’ and ‘A Midsummer Night Dream’ performed by our 11-13 year olds.
Midsummer Night’s Dream
Written by Victoria Brazier
Directed by Grace Gallagher
Storyhouse Youth Theatre presents a riotous retelling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Four lovers run away to the woods in search of their happily ever after. When fairy mischief and magic intervene, love is truly in the air but in all the wrong places creating a feverish whirlwind of confusion and delight. Storyhouse Youth Theatre are reimagining Shakespeare’s classic comedy through a sleepy, sensory world of bed forts, novelty slippers and pillow fights. Playful and bursting with energy, this production is sure to entertain, enchant, and give you some serious pyjama inspiration.
Romeo & Juliet
Written by Victoria Brazier
Directed by Joe Shipman
Storyhouse Youth Theatre presents a faced paced and refreshing interpretation of Shakespeare’s famous love story. The story follows two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets and what happens when a teenager from one family falls in love with another.
She loves spinning the decks. He loves spinning out in existential crises. Their households may be alike, but they have absolutely no dignity. Honestly? It’s never going to work out.
This anarchic comedic retelling of Shakespeare’s classic story about why teenagers should not be allowed to date has it all. Expect Love, death, DJs & Domino’s pizza.
These violent delights have violent ends… or we might just do a song?
