Digging Up Shakespeare
Digging Up Shakespeare
Den berømte arkæolog og medlem af Richard III-selskabet Madeleine Entwistle vender tilbage til København efter at have genopdaget kongens grav i Leicester, fast besluttet på at forsvare den udskældte monark og gentænke Shakespeares skildring af ham som en grotesk klovn. Hun argumenterer for at Shakespeare afslører tåben i os alle. Pludselig modtager hun forfærdelige nyheder fra Rigshospitalet: Hendes loyale skuespillertrup er blevet alvorligt såret under prøverne på Hamlet, og hun må rekruttere to usandsynlige, uvillige frivillige. Ensemblet præsenterer derefter nogle af de mest interessante, stemningsfulde scener i Shakespeares historie. Det slutter med en rungende hyldest til Richard III.

Digging up Shakespeare, with its hand-plucked scenes from Macbeth, Twelfth Night, King Lear, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Hamlet is sure to prove that all the world’s a stage and send you out into the post-performance streets proclaiming in your best Laurence Olivier tones: “A horse, a horse. My kingdom for a horse.” Although a taxi will do just as well.- Bernardo Basilici Menini Copenhagen Post
Foreningen H20
H2O is a stage for poetry, storytelling, and boundary-breaking art: where words, sound, and the body can merge and create vibrant encounters between the Danish and the international, the experimental and the classical.
At H2O, we believe that words can be fluid, powerful, and life-giving—like water.
H2O is both a name and a promise: we nourish, transform, and flow, always in motion, always making room for the new.
We present:
Literature in motion: poetry readings, performances, and author-focused events
Cross-aesthetic productions: where music, performing arts, and literature meet
Language as a gathering point: multilingual events and international collaborations
An open space for expression: workshops, residencies, and communities for creatives
