60 Hour Shakespeare® rehearses and performs Shakespeare's plays in 60 hours to raise money for charity. Our mild inspiration is the rehearsal time of Shakespeare's actors. We have featured four productions on BBC Radio and have worked with Colin Hurley and Michael Corbidge. Our productions have over 5k views on YouTube. Please see some reviews of our productions below.
Reviews
Richard II - 'What a great job you did to get such wonderful work out of such a range of actors. It was so fresh and vital, and great to hear the whole play.'
(Ali de Souza, Director of Drama at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School)
Hamlet - 'I saw a piece of theatrical bravura on Monday - a wonderful production of Hamlet, rehearsed and put together over just one weekend. The strong sense of movement created a special dynamic - you felt that almost anything could happen.'
(Susan Creed, Henley Standard)
