KDC Theatre – Central London based amateur theatre group
Maker of theatre: creating, experimenting, learning, performing.
By Sarah Heenan, Alan Maddrell and Andy Marchant (After William Shakespeare)
10th April – 14th April 2012
As part of the RSC’s Open Stages project, KDC Theatre explores placing a contemporary historical event into a Shakespearean style and structure in this original play.
It is the 1990s and a country already in turmoil finds itself in the middle of a media war as the future king and queen separate in this tale of political intrigue, a crisis of succession and the manipulation of the press.
By John Fletcher
3rd April – 7th April 2012
The Tamer Tamed is the sequel to Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew – where the women get their revenge on the newly remarried Petruchio.
Written by John Fletcher, the Bard’s collaborator on Henry VIII, Two Noble Kinsman and (the lost) Cardenio, the play combines moments of high and low comedy with some powerful speeches in this timeless tale about the battle of the sexes and who really comes out on top.
