Event Type: Play, Educational

About:
Shakespeare was originally written not to be studied by geeks or seen by snobs, but to be performed for the general masses.
- Our production in 2016, SD: The Merchant of Venice 2016 has traveled to 14 locations, performed more than 30 shows to over 5000 pairs of eyes. Apart from KL, we have traveled to Langkawi, Penang, Ipoh, Nilai, Seremban and Johor Bahru.
- It is our mission to take Shakespeare to every state in Malaysia, and eventually to all countries in Southeast Asia.
- Besides our annual Shakespeare Demystified series, we are active in providing trainings and workshops based on the concept of “Learning Through Shakespeare”. We work with students from universities, colleges, international and national schools, to increase their appreciation of the Bard, or to improve their communication skill, or to explore various stage crafts, all rooted in Shakespeare’s text and works.
- To contribute to the local theatre development, we have begun to provide free training sessions to actors dedicated to honing their crafts. We generously share our philosophies, knowledge and experiences, in making good theatre. We hope to help expanding the pool of actors who are serious about their work, and appreciate that true artists do not avoid hard work.
