CHRYSALIS COLLECTIVE

The Chrysalis Collective, Graduates Lucinda Lee and Christa Harris, make bold and immersive theatre which places in order to highlight contemporary societal issues.

SHAKESPEARE ON THE STREETS
Moving through the streets of Coventry, we hear the Bard’s words erupt from unexpected places.

The Chrysalis Collective take you on a small tour of Coventry presenting; ‘Shakespeare on the Streets’, a re-imagining of Shakespearean texts in the realms of modern Coventry with the inclusion of live music.

From young love at a school bus stop, to the inspiring call to arms to save the Green Belt, to a sonnet to an award-winning marrow, Shakespeare’s words are shown to be both relatable and poignant for urban life in Coventry. Chrysalis invites you to explore what classic texts mean today and why Shakespeare’s stories remain accessible and poignant for all audiences.
