It’s an absolutely wild ride”, says Albrecht, self-professed Shakespeare nerd, “We will tread that fine line between genius and insanity, and hopefully leaving you howling in laugher”. The show sees 3 actors in an attempt to perform all of Shakespeare’s place as fast as humanly possible, and then even faster, and possibly even backwards.
“It’s a test of endurance,” says McMahon, who sees himself play over a dozen characters over the course of the show, “For both the actors and the audience.”
