CHILDREN’S THEATRE: 3Ü1 ARADA SHAKESPEARE
In this kitchen, they’re not cooking food, they’re making theatre! 3-in-1 Shakespeare, in which three chefs tell three of Shakespeare’s classics using kitchen materials, is at Tersane Istanbul Glass Hall on Sunday, November 15 01.00PM. A cheerful family play that introduces children to world literature through the playful language of object theatre.
About the Play
The three chefs on stage introduce the audience to three classic works by William Shakespeare using the materials on their counters: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. As kitchen materials take on the roles of characters, great stories turn into short, cheerful, and delicious summaries. Object theatre, which brings objects to life, sparks children’s imaginations while opening an entertaining door for those discovering Shakespeare for the first time. Designed as a play for children and families, the production offers an enjoyable experience for accompanying adults as well as children.
What’s in the Play?
Romeo and Juliet: The unforgettable story of the children of two feuding families.
Hamlet: The thought-provoking story of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, filled with questions. A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A cheerful comedy in which fairies and lovers get mixed up with one another in a forest. After the play, a special workshop awaits the little chefs: in the Paper Chef Hat Making Workshop, children design their own chef hats using paper and colorful materials.
