British Touring Shakespeare are very excited to announce the launch of a pioneering new classical performance initiative. Guerilla Shakespeare will be a regular event in which we cast a Shakespeare play, give the actors the script to learn their lines and then just let them turn up and perform the show with no rehearsal, direction or prior contact with the rest of the cast. It may create some powerful and sponataneous moments of performance or it might just be a bit of a mess! We’re hoping for the former but we know it’s going to be an unmissable spectacle either way.

To launch this groundbreaking new method of bringing the Bard’s work to life, we’ve decided to set ourselves as big a challenge as possible, so on Saturday 26th November we will be giving a guerilla performance of heavyweight tragedy King Lear at a major new venue in London’s West End.

Stay tuned for more details very soon as well as information on how you can be involved in the show.
