MONT ORGUIEL CASTLE
Plays Ruff presents: INGLORIOUS BARDSTERS – Jersey Festival of Words
Tickets (including a free glass of wine) £12 / £10 to Jersey Heritage Members
Very limited seating will be available to those who absolutely require it, but please do bring along a cushion to seat yourselves upon.
.This year marks the 400th anniversary since the death of England’s greatest writer, yet that may still not be long enough for Shakespeare to forgive Plays Rough for this misguided night of new theatre at Gorey Castle.
Based loosely around the theme of, erm, “Shakespeare”, Jersey’s own playwrights have responded to this theme with an exciting and varied set of short plays and poetry. Liberties will be taken. Names will be called. Esteemed bones may turn in their grave.
Whilst plays developed in the regular Plays Rough evenings at the Opera House have since gone on to festivals and the West End of London, this night at the Castle will be only the second time that Plays Rough itself has “gone on tour”. Writers boarding the minibus to Gorey include Martha MacDonald, Lisa Marie White, Andrew Davey, and Ben Evans (amongst others).
If you’re up for an exciting couple of hours of brand-new (yet vaguely-Shakespearean) theatre in the fantastic surroundings of Mont Orgueil, get yourself a ticket now. Hell, get thyself two.
The evening will be approximately two hours and will take place in a number of different spaces in the castle.
Not at all suitable for children.
