Oddsocks Productions have spent over 28 years creating bold, interactive and comedy productions of Shakespeare’s works. This summer they return to Jersey, and to Coronation Park, with a new innovative take on Shakespeare’s greatest love story: Romeo and Juliet.
Whether it’s a live on-stage car chase (Romeo and Juliet, 2009) or the fairy-king as an avatar superhero (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, 2014) Oddsocks have no boundaries when it comes to creating memorable and unique comedy productions of the classics.
New for 2017 is a Mods and Rockers inspired Romeo and Juliet. Set on the Brighton seafront amidst the chaos of music and style division the mods and rockers proclaimed, audiences can expect the usual Oddsocks anarchy and comedy as they turn Shakespeare’s greatest love story on its head - and all set to a swinging soundtrack of classics!
Romeo and Juliet is arguably Shakespeare’s most famous play. The feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are the backdrop for the young star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, to fall in love amidst the surrounding violence and chaos. Despite being a tragedy, Oddsocks are more likely to have you in tears of laughter rather than of sadness.
Oddsocks’ Artistic Director, Andy Barrow says this is “Shakespeare for today. Seriously silly Shakespeare. Oddsocks is a theatrical experience for everyone. As actors, we’re putting on a party and everyone is invited. It’s theatre that’s highly energetic, full of life and plenty of laughs! It’s Shakespeare, but not as you know it!”
