Chicken Shop Shakespeare *Rebel Shakespeare; based in Leeds, bringing classical words and scenes to unexpected contemporary situations The ultimate goal would be to make a feature.

Chicken Shop Shakespeare is collaborative project based in Leeds and the North of England. We bring Shakespearean words and scenes to unexpected situations, environments and new audiences. When we first started shooting Shakespeare in Chicken Cottage, all the lads in the street thought we were shooting a grime video. We felt the pieces had something… and it grew from there; working in new location

s, bringing in a larger cast and learning about Shakespeare. We feel Shakespeare’s work could be set anywhere – in a Neolithic village or on a space ship; the stories and characters are universal, yet unpredictable. Contemporary settings work because people have always been the same - being good, being bad, making mistakes, in chicken shops or castles, in BMW’s or on horseback. Moving forward we’re looking at exploring more issues that affect us; money, class, racism, drugs, violence, love.
