Shadow House PARTY
Drink. Shakespeare. Rave. Repeat.
SEASON: 18-21 JANUARY 2016 | THE COURTYARD THEATRE | 7PM
A first of its kind mini-theatre festival, this night brings together an array of performance art. Sex, Shakespeare, punk rock and revolt... Three shows, followed by an exclusive dance party.
“Shadow House Party is theatre that stimulates the intellect, provokes thought, experiments and challenges and ultimately reminds us that all theatre should hold the mirror as ‘twere up to Nature and show us who we are and who we should be.”
First, KREWD invites you to come inside, get dirrrrty and play with us. KREWD is a reminder that behind our masks, we are all just FILTHY ANIMALS striving to be become divine beings. Sexy, cruel, joyous and rude... unapologetically feminist and always KREWD, we welcome you to help us kick off Shadow House Party.
After, more surprises await, as demons from the early Enlightenment explore their contradictory potential of human beings turning into demons with wings and having deep-and-meaningfuls in a bathtub ... Trinculo awaits.
Finally, the ghost of Ophelia is awakened by the power of punk, feminism and a middle finger to the man. A radical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we explore the experiences of Ophelia throughout the final days of her life. As we do, we find there are shadows of Ophelia everywhere, women who instead of submitting, pick up a guitar and crank it as loud as they can.
Shadow House Party bringing together Shadow House PITS, Acoustic Theatre and KREWD to form a party like no other.
