S4K Romeo/Tempest - Horsham preview

HORSHAM HOME OF SHAKESPEARE 4 KIDZ


HORSHAM is home in many ways for Shakespeare 4 Kidz who bring their productions of Romeo And Juliet and The Tempest to The Capitol.

As creator, producer and director Julian Chenery explains:“For many years we have been spending our rehearsal period in Horsham.”

It means that everyone knows what to expect - and these latest shows will be very much in the Shakespeare 4 Kidz tradition.

Romeo And Juliet has been retold in countless ways since Shakespeare first put his play on stage 400 years ago.

But never has it been told in the same fun-filled, rock and roll way which Shakespeare 4 Kidz promise.

Alongside it will be S4K’s version of The Tempest – both typical of the exciting, inventive adaptations the company specialise in.

There are performances at the Capitol on Thursday February 12 at 1.30 pm and 7pm.

And the next day S4K are on stage with The Tempest, thought by many scholars to be the last play entirely written by Shakespeare.

Performances of The Tempest are at 10am and 1.30pm on Friday February 13. Box office: 01403 750220.

What they say about us:

S4K TEMPEST: "If we can take kids to see Shakespeare at 8, 9, 10 years of age and they come out laughing, crying (one did!) and loving it, they will go back again and again and they will learn what they need to, but most of all those kids will have it in their hearts for ever and keep the magic alive themselves."
