Enter the Body
Red Chair Players • Student/Youth company
About the show
Enter the Body is performed by Red Chair Players, a Fringe First-winning high school company from the United States, at the Willow Studio. In this sharp, funny and bold take on Shakespeare, three of his most tragic heroines — Juliet, Ophelia and Cordelia — imagine how their stories might have gone if they had real agency. Part satire, part tribute, this inventive ensemble piece blends humour and heart in a fast-paced reimagining of the Bard's most iconic tragedies. The show asks what changes when girls take the script into their own hands. It runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Three of Shakespeare's most silenced women finally get to rewrite their endings — Juliet, Ophelia and Cordelia reclaim their voices in this witty, fast-paced ensemble piece. At £5, it's a bargain for bold, inventive theatre that takes the classics seriously and then delightfully doesn't.
