Shakespeare: Say It!

Schindel Says Productions—The Rachel Browne Theatre

It is always a risk to lean on audience participation in a show, and in Shakespeare: Say It! that’s the whole point. Rest assured however she is very firm in her audience consent, so if you’re shy this shouldn’t turn you away. The issue, however, begins to reveal itself should your audience be unable to, or be unwilling to, match your energy. In a show as crowd dependent as this it is difficult to take the audience off the leash so to speak, and should they miss their cues or fumble a line, it turns into something of a lesson. If you are a fan of the bard, and want to revel in the language together, this is for you, but it isn’t exactly Shakespeare 101.
