There are 75 onstage deaths in the works of William Shakespeare – Spymonkey will perform them all.
There are 75 onstage deaths in the works of William Shakespeare: from the carnage at the end of Hamlet to snakes in a basket in Antony & Cleopatra. And then there’s the pie in Titus Andronicus.
Spymonkey will perform them all in this solemn, sombre and sublimely funny tribute to the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, directed by Tim Crouch (I, Malvolio, An Oak Tree, Adler & Gibb). The four ‘seriously, outrageously, cleverly funny clowns’ (Time Magazine) will scale the peaks of sublime poetry, and plumb the depths of darkest depravity. It may even be the death of them.
