Act V Theatre Company presents
Venus and Adonis
By William Shakespeare
It tells the story of the goddess Venus, her obsession for the mortal Adonis and their passionate encounter.
Shakespeare's dazzling verbal virtuosity, explores love with the wit and pathos later found in his best-loved comedies.
"A perfect example in miniature of Shakespeare's genius: vivid characterisation, terrific storytelling and sublime poetry, but also sensational comic material, followed instantly by moving tragedy" Gregory Doran RSC.
Shakespeare's classic has been adapted into a play for four actors and violinist, with the stripped-back technique that Act V specialises in.
"A superbly stripped-down version of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Act V Theatre has gained a well-deserved reputation for its imaginative interpretations of Shakespeare, and this Macbeth is no exception to this consistently high standard"
(Bristol Evening Post).
"In fact, the best Shakespeare of 2005, was a stripped-bare Macbeth at the Alma, courtesy of locals Act V. A fast, lusty rip-roarer with a cast of four and no scene changes, thrusting the play's envy, black magic and machismo centre stage" (Venue).
