Classics to laugh


The most entertaining morning of theatre in the Fogar. The company Face2face delighted us with two plays that adapt two classics of English literature: Frankenstein, a novel written by Mary Shelley and Macbeth, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

Brad and Janet's car breaks down on a deserted road in the middle of a storm. There is a light on in the distance. They decide to seek help at the sinister-looking castle on top of the hill. Dr Frankenstein is throwing a wild party to celebrate the birth of his latest creation, and he welcomes the young couple into his dark and mysterious abode. He will help them ... but at a price.
Face 2 Face sets Shakespeare's famous tragedy in a fast-good restaurant, where Macbeth is a conniving kitchen boy. This tragedy adeptly converted into social satire illustrates how the Macbeth couple's amibition and unbridled greed drives them to ruin while the audience cracks up laughing.
Fear, tragedy and lots of laughs for our Primary and Secondary students, that also took part on the scene.
