by Matt Sowell - Nov 6, 2014
Fresh from a third straight year of sold-out performances at the Toronto Fringe, Shakespeare BASH'd ventures into darkness with Shakespeare's seminal tragedy, Macbeth. The company is quickly becoming known for their fast paced, text-based, bare bones approach to presenting the Bard's cannon. "We're bringing Shakespeare back to the way we believe it was originally intended," says Shakespeare BASH'd Artistic Director James Wallis. "We're taking something classical and getting rid of the stigma so often associated with it." By presenting their productions in bars throughout Toronto, with very little set and an emphasis on clear text, audiences experience the work in a relaxed, immersive atmosphere where patrons are sitting on the edge of their seats, transported into the multifaceted world of Shakespeare's text.
