Which plays are in each show?

Volume 1 pairs Macbeth with Romeo and Juliet, Volume 2 The Tempest with Hamlet, and Volume 3 Falstaff with Othello. The volumes alternate over the run without a regular weekly pattern, and the Lucernaire ticket shop lists which dates go with each one.

How much are tickets?

€10 for anyone under 26, €16 at the reduced rate and €32 full price. The reduced rate depends on the spectator's situation.

Does my kid need to understand French?

Yes. It's performed in French, with narration and songs carrying the stories, so it works best for kids who follow spoken French comfortably.

About

Director Ned Grujic turns six Shakespeare plays into three shows of two stories each, so every performance tells a pair of tales back to back. The actors move between narrating, playing the characters, singing and playing instruments, in a staging inspired by old trestle-stage theater. It's performed in French and the words carry it, so it suits kids who follow spoken French well.
