FROM THE PRESS
‘Alas Poor Yorick takes the essence of Shakespeare’s
poetic and philosophical prose and weaves within it a thread
of contemporary humour, playing off passionate soliloquise
with witty asides in a highly original style. A strong cast
moved effortlessly between a multiplicity of roles…tight
direction, atmospheric lighting and sumptuous costume added
to this powerful piece of theatre…’
Gloucesterhsire Echo

‘Some of Shakespeare’s minor characters get to
hold centre stage in Jonathan Shelley’s new play in
which the gravedigger in Hamlet seeks out the meaning and
nature of death…An athletic cast of five take on numerous
roles as they leap smartly from dark mysticism to wry wit
in an off-beat comedy…It takes a rare talent indeed
to blend tragedy and laughter successfully…’

‘An amiable and highly literate romp, well acted, beautifully
costumed and featuring the best fight choreography I have
seen…’
Camden New Journal

‘A highly talented group of actors get the opportunity
to deliver many great speeches and there is enough excellent
swordplay to keep the blood pumping…
