On Shakespeare’s birthday, Iris Theatre have announced the line-up for Shakespeare Sundays, whereby audiences can experience interactive retellings of the Bard’s classic plays.

Shakespeare Sundays will feature Victoria Gartner’s critically-acclaimed solo show Bard in the Yard on 4 & 18 July, and This Noisy Isle from Spun Glass Theatre on 1 August.

For Bard in the Yard, Alix Dunmore will perform King Leonardo on 4 July at 2.30pm, with Honey Gabriel performing on 18 July at 2.30pm; and Luke Farrugia performs The Scottish Play on 4 July at 5pm, with Will Harrison Wallace performing on 18 July at 5pm.

Written by Mark Hayward, This Noisy Isle is a magical new work for 7-11 year olds inspired by The Tempest. Directed by Ross Drury, you can enjoy an outdoor treasure-hunt style, interactive adventure through the gardens of The Actors Church.

Artistic Director of Iris Theatre, Paul-Ryan Carberry, said, “We’ve been so grateful for the amazing response to our Summer Festival 2021 and are delighted to be welcoming even more artists from today. Iris has a long-standing history with classical work and so it’s fitting that we’re able to present these brilliantly fun interactive productions at the Actor’s Church, and bring the bard to a wide range of audiences.
