ZIMBABWEAN SHEAKEPEARE COMES TO EDEN

THE Highlights Touring Scheme continues its Autumn season in Cumbria with a visit from Two Gents Productions by a Zimbabwean theatre troop.

They will bring their version of Two Gentlemen of Verona to Orton Market Hall on Sunday, November 15 at  7.30pm.

Using little or no props, a few items of clothing and a set that consists of no more than a trunk, the actors explore the Shakespeare’s comedy from a distinctly Zimbabwean perspective, bringing the Bard’s verse to life in new and unfamiliar cadences.

With a watchful eye, great intuition and comic timing, the actors draw the audience into the action and create a soulful and engaging theatrical experience not to be missed.

Two Gentlemen of Verona is being performed at Orton Market Hall, just five minutes from the M6 at junctions 38 and 39. There will be refreshments after the show. For tickets please contact Sally Seed on 01539 624732 or via sally.seed@btconnect.com.
