Twelfth Night
Twelfth Night tells a twisted tale of mistaken identity, transformation and deception. With a man playing a girl disguised as a boy, illusion and reality are almost indistinguishable on Propeller’s island of Illyria. Dark and delightful, the play questions what happens when you fall in love with the wrong person, and the answer is both beautiful and bittersweet.
Henry V (Propeller Shakespeare)
Henry V dramatizes the legend of the heroic warrior-king who won the battle of Agincourt; but it also tells the more human story of a young king’s psychological journey, learning to deal with the political realities of Church and State. As increasing numbers of British servicemen and women are seeing active service, Propeller brings its own unique take on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.
This Flesh Is Mine
Achilles, the greatest of the Achaean warriors, refuses to fight; angered that King Agamemnon has stolen his captive Trojan slavegirl, Briseis ‘She shares my tent, she shares my bed. Her flesh is mine.’ But Briseis has dreams and desires of her own. Drawn from The Iliad, and produced in collaboration with Ashtar Theatre from Palestine, Brian Woolland’s taut and poetic new play for Border Crossings brings together Homer’s Troy and the Middle East of today: worlds shaken by cycles of violence and revenge, by ambition and self-interest masquerading as idealism; worlds struggling towards any possibility of reconciliation.
The Comedy of Errors (Propeller Shakespeare)
The Comedy of Errors is a brilliant piece of theatrical mechanism, a story of mounting confusion involving two pairs of twins. But it also explores the relations between lovers and between husband and wife, and ends with the warmth and reconciliation of a multiple family reunion.
Richard III
Richard III brings the Wars of the Roses cycle of history plays to a close in bloody fashion. Arguably Shakespeare’s most villainous king, we watch in horror and delight as Richard murders his way to the throne, unable to resist his cruel wit and dark humour. This is a hugely entertaining and diabolical adventure that tells the story of one man’s journey to heaven, then back to hell.
The Iphigenia Quartet
One tragedy Two parts Four explosive plays Agamemnon faces an impossible choice, he is a father commanded by the gods to sacrifice his daughter. In doing so, he will lose his wife, Clytemnestra and bury his child, Iphigenia. Ever present over his shoulder, the Chorus awaits Iphigenia’s fate. [i]The Iphigenia Quartet</i. explores this domestic catastrophe from the perspective of each key player. Clytemnestra grapples with the ultimate betrayal, Iphigenia boldly accepts her fate, Agamemnon wrestles with an impossible choice, and the Chorus powerlessly observe, unable to look away. The classic Greek story of Iphigenia at Aulis is retold by four of the UK’s most exciting and radical playwrights; Caroline Bird, Suhayla El-Bushra, Lulu Raczka and Chris Thorpe.
