“A bravura performance that challenged and thrilled, winning him a heartfelt standing ovation. American accents and bold characters gave Shakespeare an immediacy and accessibility that made my audience feel Shakespeare belonged to them.” —Carolyn Franks, Whatley Center, Texas
Relying only on the power of Shakespeare’s language, classically trained actor Joshua Kane takes audiences on a whirlwind tour, where they will meet such dazzling personalities as Richard III, Oberon and Henry V; where they will breathe the air of the Roman Senate and storm the breach at Harfleur. In this swift-paced one-man show, audiences become active partners in creating the world of the play, just as Shakespeare meant them to be: “For ’tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings, / Carry them here and there, jumping o’er times, / Turning the accomplishment of many years / Into an hourglass.” (Henry V, I.i). An ideal introduction for newcomers to Shakespeare and a delightful revisiting for old friends.
