A black and white portrait of Shakespeare surrounded by masked figures with colourful graffiti splodges all over him. Text reads who the eff is Shakespeare. We're adding to the story giving you all the gory details.

About Who the F--K is Shakespeare?

Following a sell-out run, four of Shakespeare’s (in)famous characters are back for a national tour, ready to tell their side of the story.

Join them as they blow the dust off the classics to stage a multi-art form political occupation of stories steeped in racism, patriarchy and violence.

Armed with punchy verses, punky attitudes, and whole lotta wit - let's rip out the pages, raise the roof, and rise up!


“We’re adding to the story, giving you all the gory details.”


Written and directed by Ameera Conrad, who the f--k is shakespeare? is supported by Unity Theatre, Arts Council England, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Granada Foundation, The Coutts Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation, and Liverpool City Council.

ACCESS

Please note this production will have integrated audio description.

A note from the Audio Description Consultant:

Hello, my name is Mandy Redvers-Rowe and I am the Audio Description Consultant who has been working with Twenty Stories High on Who The F—K Is Shakespeare?

I have been working with Ameera and the team to make the production accessible to visually impaired audiences. We have built description into the script and so you can expect:

  • Set description
  • Character description, with a unique musical intro for each character so that you know who is on stage.
  • Action description, so that nothing will happen on stage that you don’t know about. We have also designed the costumes so that they have an audio element, and you will be able to hear movement and follow some of the action this way.

I really hope you enjoy the show! We’d love to hear about anything you particularly like about the integrated audio description, or if you have any suggestions about how we can make it better.
