Ten Days on the Island (TDOTI) are pleased to present two of Shakespeare’s tragedies, Coriolanus and Macbeth by one of Britain’s most applauded contemporary performance makers, Forced Entertainment.

In Selected Works, Forced Entertainment transforms Shakespeare’s plays into captivating miniatures, played out on a one-metre tabletop with everyday objects.  Imagine a salt and pepper pot as the king and queen, a ruler for the prince, a spoon for the servant, lighter fluid for the innkeeper, and a water bottle for the messenger.

TDOTI have especially selected Coriolanus and Macbeth to align with the school curriculum. 

These intimate performances explore the power of narrative and the possibilities of conjuring extraordinary scenes, images, and stories using language alone, creating worlds as vivid as they are strange. The plays become something more accessible, using objects from the kitchen cabinet, and supermarket shelves, in a unique celebration of theatre and the power of the storytelling.

An extraordinary opportunity to bring Shakespeare to life in a way your students will never forget!

Coriolanus: 10:30am

Macbeth: 12:30pm

Note: Each show must be booked separately on the booking form. The shows have been scheduled to encourage attendance to both with a short 45-minute lunch break in between.
