Performance of Shopping With Shakespeare, Richard III - opening monologue.


I kick-started this in an effort to bring Shakespeare into the public domain in short, sharp bursts. Well-known Shakespearian scenes are enacted in public spaces, each  utilising the architecture of the performance space where possible. Performances last approximately 20 minutes and have taken place in a wide range of venues, both in the UK and France - more information on Shopping With Shakespeare
