High-octane improvised Shakespeare.
“Uproarious, intelligent, laugh-a-minute fare.”
* * * * The Telegraph.
Perry Court Farm on 13th June, for one night only star of television, film and stage, Tom Burke will be guest guest starring.
Since debuting at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2005, The School of Night has performed its unique blend of literary improvisation and high stakes capers for the RSC, The National Theatre, several Edinburgh festivals, in Germany, Belgium, Poland, Malaysia and Texas, as well as in Jeremy Beadle’s library. A show like no other
In the 16th century, the School Of Night was an arcane, underground sect of artists, thinkers, writers, scientists and spies, who some scholars believe wrote Shakespeare’s plays.
Revived by maverick theatre genius Ken Campbell for the 21st century, the heretical troupe has risen to the challenge of Hard Bardics, improvising lost masterpieces, summoning the muses and channeling the great poets and playwrights of the past.
Every night is different, everything is created on the spur of the moment according to ideas and suggestions proffered by the audience. https://www.perrycourt.farm/product-page/the-school-of-night-ticket
