Shakespeare's Sonnets 10-11 July @GarrickWfld @GMFringe

Wednesday 10 July at 6pm and 8pm, Thursday 11 July at 7pm, £15.

Garrick, Bank Street, Whitefield, M45 7JF.

A tower of lyrical excellence, cover such universal themes as procreation and conception, passage of time and mortality, jealousy and love, beauty and erotica. The first section is addressed to a young man; the second focuses on the 'dark lady'; other sonnets express the speaker's view regarding loneliness, old age, force of nature etc.

 

These themes - like their dramatic equivalents - are relevant for all places, times, societies and cultures. "Shakespeare's Sonnets: Poetry-Theatre on Love and Creation" – is a unique theatrical work of Shakespeare's lyrical creation of the sonnets adapted for stage. It is not an ordinary poetry reading event! The songs are transformed into dramatic pieces; the stage interpretation of main themes creates a new sort of theatrical language.
