Joshua Kane Performs:
Shakespeare's
Murderers, Madmen & Kings
An Evening Of Violence, Politics, Sex & Greed
“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). Imagine your audience roaring their battle cries as they storm the breach at Harfleur .An ideal introduction for newcomers to Shakespeare and a delightful revisiting for old friends.

"I am going to have to open up another section of Shakespeare for our female students. Hearing Shakespeare spoken by you filled my students with excitement and a yearning to learn more about him. Now that you have taught them that Shakespeare is like a modern day soap opera, they can identify with it and are actually showing more interest in the class. Mr. Kane thank you for awakening a desire in my students hearts that they did not know that they had." - Catherine Jones, Principal, McLaughlin School, Anchorage Alaska
