MACDEATH Or WHATS IN A NAME Opens 5/28 At Landor Theatre

MacDeath or What's In A Name, by Delores Tremens
Directed by Rob McWhir

Tuesday 28th May - Saturday 9th June 2009
at 7.30pm, matinees Sundays 3rd & 10th June at 3pm
Ticket prices; £10 - £8 concessions

Let's put it simply. You could say MACDEATH or What's in a name? by Delores Tremens is a spoof of the famous Scottish play by William Shakespeare. You could say it, and you would be right to do so, however, Tremens' text tickles, titillates and teases us in ways many and varied for both Shakespeare aficionados and novices alike.

Scene by scene the original tragedy is wrung out for laughs, ridiculed or celebrated for its timeless genius. The characters occasionally reveal the actors underneath, abusing the plot, picking out the odd bit of panto, pun or punch line.

With visual humour and the experienced directorship of Robert McWhir, it will be a sight to behold.

Whatever your sense of humour, be it base or intellectual, there's certainly something here for you. It has been said before that Shakespeare stuck the odd joke in this one - Tremens has tossed in a ton more.
