GYP is back in play!
We’re touring from the 14th-25th of July 2021.
This year is treading a slightly different track to previous seasons as we are working with our sister company, Dramestics, but rest assured that The Bard is still very much in the bones…
So without further ado, may we present:
From Age to Age
The common adage is that William Shakespeare sheds a light upon every conceivable human experience and provides us with a universality with which we may all identify. Certainly, his poetry can strike a chord with many, and evoke the whole gamut of emotional responses, much like music.
Over thirty years, a son and father with a shared love of Shakespeare, imparted to the younger by the older, write to one another about the common, sometimes overlapping, events of their lives.
Over the decades, they thread their nuanced, often unspoken emotions through the lines they pen, never openly acknowledging their feelings other than through inflection and choice of vocabulary; and yet each knows the other.
Here we present these poems, some for the first time: a literary, personal and intimate conversation interwoven with a few monologues from their favourite lyricist, Shakespeare.
Be prepared to hear words from Hamlet, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, King Lear and Much Ado About Nothing amongst others, and to share in this intergenerational journey, a veritable whirligig of time.
A little about the company:
Dramestics is a company with a cast of professional actors who bring classical plays and brand new writing directly to you. Liven up any event with exciting and innovative takes on old favourites or original plays in any setting, whether it be a house, barn, garden or pub.
You don’t go to the theatre, the theatre comes to you!
For anyone who has an event or space that would be enhanced with a live performance of this piece or another, please do get in touch via dm, email, or through the website of GYP or Dramestics!
