Two Gents Productions continue our exploration and interpretation of Shakespeare with a production that focuses on the black characters in Shakespeare’s plays.
Outside of the dramatic universe that Shakespeare created, Othello, the Prince of Morocco (Merchant of Venice) and Aaron (Titus Andronicus) and are given room to expand.
Exploring issues that are as topical and controversial as ever, Two Gents present a play that delves into the sense of displacement felt by Shakespeare’s characters and relate it to their own experiences as black men in a white world.
Newly written material sits alongside historical texts, african folk music and ancient proverbs to tell the story behind the ‘Moors’, in this unique production, presented in Two Gents’ signature ‘Township’ style.
Coming in January 2012
