Cardenio

Thursday 07-02-2013 20:00

APPROX RUNNING TIME: 2hours 20mins (inc. interval)

Performed by The Aporia Theatre Collective

In 1611, a play was submitted to the censor with no definitive author. Several characters were unnamed, there was no title and the plots within were adapted from episodes of Cervantes’ Don Quixote. In the 1990s, the palaeographer Charles Hamilton attested that this play was the lost Shakespeare, Cardenio.

Debate has abounded since, and to coincide with the publication of Jonathan Busby and Luis del Aguila’s edit, the Aporia Theatre Collective are proudly presenting their celebrated production in studio@QT.

This is an indelible and disturbing play that deals with obsession, amorality, suspicion and, ultimately, revenge.

The Aporia Theatre Collective's work on the text has also facilitated experimentation with lesser-represented, global forms of theatre, specifically Japanese Kabuki and Noh, and as such is a visually and aurally unique spectacle.                                        

This performance includes brief nudity.

Please feel free to join the cast for a Q & A session in the Foyer Bar following the performance.
