Romeo and Juliet: Out of Pocket
Eduardo Zucchi • Professional company
About Eduardo Zucchi
Eduardo Zucchi presents a fast-paced bilingual comedy at Grand Theatre in which a British Shakespeare scholar and a Mexican professor go head-to-head to rewrite the world's most famous romance, performing the entire play themselves in 60 chaotic minutes. What begins as an academic debate erupts into anarchy involving chalkboards, sabotage and PowerPoints. As English and Spanish collide, rivalry turns to revelation and perhaps love. The show is suitable for Shakespeare lovers, sceptics and anyone drawn to opposites attracting. An adaptation and farce, suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Two performers, two languages and one very chaotic attempt to rewrite Shakespeare — the bilingual collision of academic rivalry and romantic comedy makes this something genuinely different. A lively, accessible show for sceptics and enthusiasts alike.
