A unique blend of the original text with modern dialogue and lively music, S4K's music theatre Shakespeare interpretations of the classic plays have established the company as favourites with audiences near and far. Julian Chenery and Matt Gimblett's cleverly crafted musical adaptations create Shakespeare that is genuinely for everyone.
