In the 17th century Shakespearean actors performed in pubs, at fairs and on the street; they had to compete against the noise of the crowd who shouted, hurled oranges and tried to join in with their performance. Let's recreate that scene on the rooftop bar of Mario's East Side Saloon! We hope you won't need to throw oranges though :)

Join us and The New Renaissance Theatre Company to experience Shakespeare the way it was intended: with food and drink. The audience will pick the scenes. The audience will pick the actors and role the actor plays. Shakespeare’s actors didn't need rehearsal and neither do we! Find out why #Shakespeare worked that way and experience how fast-paced and fun his plays can be.

Discover The New Renaissance Theatre Company and their The Unrehearsed Shakespeare Project in time to catch their summer tour of "The Taming of the Shrew" and "The Tragedie of Macbeth". Our unique performance style is based upon the conditions of Shakespeare’s own company, rooted deeply in #English tradition.

Meet Andy Kirtland, Managing Director of NRTC and cast members….. Find out more about the company online at www.newrentheatre.com.

What attendees should expect: Our aim is to introduce you to the unrehearsed cue script technique, an historically informed practiced based upon Shakespeare’s working conditions, our own research and experience. It doesn't matter how well attendees are acquainted with Shakespeare. Those who know him well will see something different. Those who don’t know him will make a new friend!
