SHOOTING
SHAKESPEARE
They set sail onto an ocean
of uncontrollable egos, murderous intrigue and cut-throat rivalry. Reputations
are shipwrecked as a scrambled magic world is unleashed on the island
of their celluloid dreams ....... in a love affair with the Cinema Kid
that all but kills off the Old Queen Theatre.
Forkbeard's latest mix of film and theatre is a murder mystery thriller set in the early years of the Silver Screen.
The fledgling movie moguls, desperate to elevate the tone of their upstart artform, enlist the help of the mighty Theatre Impresarios of the day to shoot the first ever Silent Tempest.
