Kinda chic to bring devised, immersive, playful theatre to the fringe💁‍♀️

You have until August 23rd to catch one of the most immersive shows at this year’s fringe at @venue13fringe playing everyday but Mondays at 17:45🪩🤠

🎲 At SHAKESPEARE DICE: AS YOU LIKE IT step into a karaoke bar full of crooning cowboys, line dancing jesters and lovesick shepherds. Grab a drink and hold onto your hats because no one knows what’s coming next: audience members roll dice to randomly cast the show, so no two performances are remotely alike!

We are SO excited to share that our one-of-a-kind, immersive production of Shakespeare Dice: As You Like It has been chosen to be filmed & documented for Historical Preservation by the National Library of Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎥

🎲In our original Dice format, a virtuosic ensemble of actors memorizes the entire script of a classical text and the roles are randomized at the start of each performance. What happens next is live theater without a safety net.

For this show, in addition to the roles, the scenes will be re-shuffled into a random order each night, and the audience will be thrown into the achey breaky heart of the action in this topsy-turvy remix🤠

We run at @venue13fringe until Aug 23rd at 17:45!
