Migrant Shakespeare
Seyyar Company (UK/Turkey/transnational)

Think you know your Shakespeare? Think again! This is Shakespeare as
you’ve never seen him before – ‘trippingly on the tongue’… Migrant
actors take on the Bard, reinterpreting his words in alien environments
you will never have imagined before. They give his iconic characters a
new life, migrating them into the roles assigned to outsiders by
society. Hamlet is a meat-packer, King Lear a construction worker,
Caliban a hotel cleaner, Lady Macbeth a housewife looking after
children, and Shylock washes the dishes in a restaurant. This is no one
Bard: Shakespeare belongs both to no-one and to everyone.
