Playing at the Zabeel Theatre in Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, this show isn’t your typical Shakespearean tragedy—far from it. Instead, expect riotous reinterpretations, lightning-fast costume changes, and plenty of audience participation.
Imagine Othello performed as a rap battle, Titus Andronicus turned into a bizarre cooking show, and all of Shakespeare’s historical plays condensed into an American football match. And Hamlet? Well, that one gets performed in under 30 seconds—backwards! If that doesn’t scream entertainment, what does?
