No Holds Bard: Shakespeare on a Shoestring will be an evening of Shakespeare-themed skits, sketches, scenes and songs aimed to appeal to both Shakespeare fans and the Shakespeare-phobic.
The BCT Fringe gives an opportunity for first timers to try their hands at new skills in a supportive, low-stress environment – the emphasis is on fun rather than on big-budget sets and costumes.
Don't worry if you're not a Shakespeare fan! There are all kinds of pieces, so expect the unexpected. Yes there are some ‘actual’ Shakespeare excerpts but they’re all pretty accessible, and they’re mixed in with plenty of pieces in modern English, including Blackadder-style spoofs and Catherine Tate-style sketches. Mostly it will be an evening of laughter and fun.
For the bargain price of 500 Baht, you can enjoy a delicious meal and a drink as well as nearly two hours of live Shakespeare-themed entertainment, thrown in almost for free!
