FEAST: a play in one cooking

FEAST: a play in one cooking

By Olivia Negrean

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries William Shakespeare wrote 37 plays with a staggering 1,191 individual characters: 147 women and 1,044 men. This is one story about 6 of those women, from different parts of the world, and even different times. Little did Shakespeare know that, centuries later, his characters will come together, off the page once more. But this time just for dinner. Although it is never just dinner, is it?

An international cast bring six of Shakespeare’s most memorable women back off the page

and onto the stage. This time, outside their well-known stories and circumstances.

FEAST premiered at the International Shakespeare Festival in Gdansk, Poland in 2017, and has since been performed at:
Voila! European Theatre Festival
Romanian Cultural Institute, London
York International Shakespeare Festival
Verona Shakespeare Festival
Craiova Shakespeare Festival

Following the performances in Gdansk, FEAST has been translated into Polish and performed in Rzeszow Wanda Siemaszkowa Theatre.
The play has also been translated into Romanian for the Craiova Shakespeare Festival.
