Description
Summary:Written and performed separately between 2003 and 2012, I, Malvolio; I, Banquo; I, Caliban; I, Peaseblossom; I, Cinna (The Poet) give voice to characters from Twelfth Night, or What you will, Macbeth, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Julius Caesar. These plays are usually regarded as educational works: successfully performed in high schools in the United Kingdom, they would constitute a kind of playful initiation into the work of Shakespeare. The purpose of this article is to show that this uncommon dramatic assembly, written and directed by Tim Crouch with the more or less active participation of his audience, offers an educational introduction to Shakespeare’s work at least as much as it constitutes a prologue to what one would be tempted to consider as a shakespearian reading of the world.
