The Lyceum, Edinburgh
Part of the Edinburgh international festival, the eight-strong cast of this Peruvian production, who all have Down’s, deliver charisma and fiery energy
Anyone attempting to spin Shakespeare’s tragedy of the depressed Danish prince into a joyful experience does so at their peril. Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza’s free interpretation takes on the twofold job of centering the stories of those with Down’s syndrome within the bigger drama.
Written and directed by Chela De Ferrari, the result is upbeat and oozes charm, humour and imagination.
