Taking crucial scenes from five of Shakespeare’s most brutal plays and sewing them into one cohesive storyline, CROWNS focuses on the tragedy that is the human condition and its lust for power.
Greed and ambition are the major themes of this piece, set in an abstracted industrial zone, with all the characters weaving a complex tale of a battle for absolute power.
The script has been created using scenes from Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III, King Lear and Titus Andronicus, and also features original work by Lucy Pullen, a recent graduate of the theatre program and the show’s stage manager.
