| Description |
Josette Bushell-Mingo: 'My productions are often epic, visual and sensual. I am greatly influenced by films and we have been watching stuff from Hero to Pans labyrinth, Moulin Rouge to Buster Keaton, each differently tapping emotions that are seen in the play. I want the audience to have a theatrical experience; to hear and see Shakespeare through his imagery and the visual landscape; to leave knowing they have been in a theatre caught up in the dream.' Flier: Come into an erotic underworld of circus and wantonness; of transformation and desire in a world where the boundaries of reality and imagination merge into an arena you might not have expected … (Flier). |
