AlternativeShakespeare

We are AlternativeShakespeare.

We rediscover/reignite Shakespeare's legacy by creating fresh plays that stay faithful to his themes/words, yet at the same time challenge our preconceptions of his work.

We exist to help people enrich their own lives through the self-understanding coming out of AlternativeShakespeare.

Why AlternativeShakespeare . . .

We have no issues at all with Shakespeare - for us, he was the greatest writer of all time. It is because we hold Shakespeare in

such respect that we have created AlternativeShakespeare.

Rather it is with the understanding of his work that we take issue. For too long, in fact for over 400 years, we believe we have all failed to really 'get' the legacy Shakespeare left us.

Over the years, continued attempts to interpret/perform/research/read/immortalise/knock down/bowderlise/carve up/send up/over stress/ignore/plagiarise/hand down/be inspired by Shakespeare - the list goes on - have not succeeded.

We believe a totally new, alternative, and radical approach is needed. For us, that approach is AlternativeShakespeare.
