Romaeuropa: Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare

8-16 Oct. The Romaeuropa Festival presents Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare by Forced Entertainment, featuring 36 Shakespearean works condensed into 40-60-minute performances over eight days at Opificio Romaeuropa, from 8-16 October.

The English-language production is described by Romaeuropa as "one of the most original and radical works" by Forced Entertainment, which was founded in Sheffield in the UK in 1984.

The company acts out the plays on top of a 1-sqm table using normal everyday objects. "A salt and pepper pot for the king and queen. A ruler for the prince. A spoon for the servant. A water bottle for the messenger…"
