Since I Suppose – Chicago Shakespeare Theatre

Overview

Arguably the most innovative show of this year's Melbourne Festival, Since I Suppose takes you on a journey through the city with an interactive and intimate show that teeters on the edge of theatre and live art. Experienced by just two people at a time, the work reinterprets Shakespeare's Measure for Measure through filmed action on a handheld device. Site-specific moments will blur the distinctions between film and reality, and audio elements will create a wholly unique experience. Co-created by Richard Jordan Productions and the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, the show's US run was sold-out before the season even opened. It finished sporting 5-star reviews. As each experience is so unique, there's not much more we can tell you. But watch this space: we'll definitely be trying it out for ourselves.

This event was chosen as one of our top ten things to see at the Melbourne Festival 2014. See the full list here.
