CITIZEN REVIEWS
Travelling light
For those who doubted that Shakespeare spelt entertainment with a capital ‘E’, Yohangza Theatre Company proved it emphatically.
A clever and taut adaptation that used elements of Korean folklore and focussed on the central characters created more time for music, dance and audience interaction. A seamless blend of the traditional and the popular with tributes to everything from the Rock Musical to Korean (or was it Tamil) cinema. A generous dose of local flavour, with an endearing touch of the risqué. All held together beautifully by the unbridled energy and spontaneity of the actors effortlessly masking the rigorous discipline that went into its creation. All, adding up to a true celebration of Shakespeare.
Yes, Will Shakespeare travelled light last evening. Speaking an age old language of love, lust and longing. Creating a spicy blend of Kim chi and vadu manga. We started hesitantly, sampling it gingerly with our chopsticks, but very soon they had us eating out of their hands.
