Shakespeare On Trial - By Jeremy Webb

Off The Leash presents Shakespeare on Trial - On tour!
This video clips shows just a sampling of the terrific performances by Jeremy Webb and Simon Henderson from the play.

Synopsis: Writer Bill Shakespeare encounters four of his own most famous characters: MacBeth, Iago, Hamlet and Juliet up-close, personal and ticked-off, in a new one-man play that explores the Bard's accessibility and relevance in the world today. Shakespeare has to defend his own writing as the four fictional characters challenge the author to write in a modern way, arguing that no-one understands them anymore.

Shakespeare On Trial is a one-act, fast-paced play created to introduce audiences to the Bard's words and to help those words find an ear today.

The play features a 'greatest hits' of famous Shakespeare quotes, speeches and the occasional soliloquy (featuring scenes from Romeo & Juliet, Othello, MacBeth and Hamlet.) The show becomes interactive for the last 15 minutes as Shakespeare calls upon students to help prove his point: "The play's the thing..."
