Two households both alike in DIGNITY... An immersive theatre experience retelling the story of Romeo & Juliet after Shakespeare through the lens of rave culture. Be transported back to the 90s. Club culture is alive and well. Join us at club 'Dignity' where house music and drama collide. Dance the night away whilst the greatest love story ever told unfolds around you. Exploring the euphoria of the time alongside its darker underbelly. Audiences will experience live DJ sets interspersed with the narrative of the piece and breakout physical moments. We want them to live and breathe the story with the intensity that audiences in the yard might have experienced. Multiple performers playing single characters will allow audiences to make their own choices and follow their own journey in an anti sequential narrative of the piece, coming together for tightly choreographed and stylised violence and moments of celebration. Culminating in the tragic overdose that 'plagued' the house music scene.
DIGNITY is a play of pure feeling, a flame burning fast and clean. And that is how a play lives forever, reinvented again and again across the centuries, even as its bones and its heart remain intact.
Money raised will fund part of the cost of the venue hire and enable us to offer tickets at subsidised rates.
Tickets valid from 17th June - 13th July (Tues - Sun)
