_TWELFTH NIGHT, JULIUS CAESAR, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, MACBETH, _AND_ THE TEMPEST_... IN A WAY YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE. Away from the rest of their plays, Malvolio, Cinna, Peaseblossom, Banquo, and Caliban tell their tales, each in a solo-show written for younger audiences, by acclaimed playwright Tim Crouch. No longer burdened by iambic pentameter, these five can finally speak their truth… Fusing Shakespeare with meta-theatre, multimedia, creative tasks, and philosophical playfulness, Crouch reimagines these secondary Shakespearean characters in a way that is accessible and engaging to young audiences. Featuring an introduction from Crouch that explains the origin of the five plays and their performance processes, the _I, Shakespeare_ collection provides a fresh perspective on some of theatre's most well-known stories, finding the parallels between the Bard's time and present day.
