Beskrivning

Two migrants both alike in dignity in this city where we lay our dreams.Two men arrive in London looking for Shakespeare. They say they are from Balaika, Africa. They have passed through fire to be here and are determined for the great man to hear their stories.Alas, Shakespeare is dead! However, his theatre still stands. Soon they find themselves swept up and placed on stage in front of an expectant audience. Fame, fortune and love awaits ... But, can they survive the increasingly hostile environment?In triumphantly energetic Southern African style, two actors play men, women and immigration police to portray this funny yet moving story of love, friendship, and ambition.Published in Methuen Drama’s Plays For Young People series, this edition features resources for teachers and students, including an introduction by Sonia Massai, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Kings College London, and a contextual response to the play in production by the author.

Recensioner i media

I found this play utterly fascinating and quite complex ... It's funny, but it is extremely arresting at the same time as it tackles issues around race, identity, migrants and attitudes towards the roles in which Black actors are cast in plays today. It is timely and political, as well as funny, and reflects major issues that have been brought to the foreground by the Black Lives Matters movement ... [The] great thing about this play is that it made me think. A memorable read.
