Alas Poor Yorick

Alas Poor Yorick
The legendary independent theatre double act of Jon Haynes and David Woods pull out every trick in their theatrical playbook to create a fresh take on Shakespeare?s much-loved clowns, re-enacting all the preceding acts of the original and meticulously staging the famous graveyard scene in all its 420 year-old glory.Flipping the Shakespearean original tragedy into an existential clown piece, Ridiculusmus cast aside chaos and mistaken murders to unearth a beautiful and oddly moving meditation on work, faith and existence, with the prevaricating protagonist offered in a refreshingly contemporary light.Ridiculusmus is a multi-award winning theatre company that has been producing seriously funny theatre since 1992. Their co-artistic directors, David Woods and Jon Haynes have established the company as a flagship UK performance group touring nationally and internationally with works passionately wrought from minimal resources that achieve the aim of being both serious and funny. The company has created over 25 original theatre productions and is regularly commissioned by venues including the Barbican, National Theatre, Royal Court, Soho Theatre, BAC and Arts House, Melbourne.?They are without doubt, two of the most innovative talents working in British theatre?
