No Holds Bard

"a tsunami of a performance ... A breath of fresh Shakespeare air and a comedic head-bashing all in one!" (Edinburgh Spotlight)
Do you know what happens to old actors? Nothing. They're still acting.
Driven to the brink by the infidelity of his wife and a lack of acting opportunities, an aging thespian confronts his demons in what he hopes will be a final "dark night of the soul". The problem is, his demons are as crazy as he is.
A glorious tour de force in which four of Shakespeare's greatest creations (a foul-mouthed Macbeth, a confused Hamlet, a know-it-all Othello, and a really hungry King Lear) come kicking and screaming into the bursting, deranged brain of a single man.
NO HOLDS BARD sees celebrated actor Michael Hurst join forces with two of New Zealand's freshest writing talents for an outrageous and at times profound view into one actor's attempt at self destruction.
NB: Performance 1 hour long, followed by a short break and then a 30 min Q & A session with Michael Hurst in the theatre
