Five-Company Shakespeare

For five years I co-curated a series of Shakespeare plays with the touring theatre company Missoula Oblongata. We assigned each play's five acts to five different theatre companies working with varied media and aesthetics. These acts were stitched together "exquisite corpse" style in an undisclosed location. To attend, audience members arrived at a prescribed subway stop wearing red carnations and were then escorted to the secret theatre where they experienced all five acts in promenade, each served with a desert. I designed each play’s poster and usually directed and/or performed in one act.

The plays we made:

The Tempest (2007)
King Lear (2008-09)
Julius Caesar (2010)
Antony and Cleopatra (2011)
Richard III (2012)
