Selected Works: Table Top Shakespeare

Four artists reenacting different Shakespeare plays using everyday, household items on a tabletop
Tasmania's statewide arts festival, Ten Days on the Island 2025 program. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see this internationally renowned theatre company in Lutruwita/Tasmania. A salt and pepper pot for the king and queen. A vase for the prince. A matchbox for the servant. A toilet roll tube for the innkeeper. A water bottle for the messenger. Welcome to Table Top Shakespeare from the highly acclaimed theatre company, Forced Entertainment, celebrated worldwide for their groundbreaking and innovative productions. During the festival, you can attend one to all twelve of the selected plays of Shakespeare. The actors will each perform a condensed and intimate retelling, using a collection of everyday objects as stand-ins for the characters, all on an ordinary tabletop. This gently comical re-casting, featuring objects from the kitchen cabinet and grocery store shelves, will capture your imagination as familiar tales come to life in completely unique, slightly absurd, and strangely compelling ways. Which plays will you choose to see?
