Funk It Up About Nothin’
Chicago Shakespeare Theater
European Premiere
From the minds and rhymes behind The Bomb-itty of Errors comes the European premiere of Funk It Up About Nothin’—an “ad-rap-tation” of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. The QBrothers transform the Bard’s romantic comedy into an exuberant hip-hop extravaganza, rapped to the rhythm of six MCs and a DJ. Straight from its acclaimed debut.

The Jonah Boy
Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama
To the remote Hebridean islanders the massive rare whalepup found washed up on their shores represents desperate prayers answered. But for the young man with the mind of a Boy it becomes life and death. A haunting tale by award-winning Richard Taylor and Jane Buckler, based on true events. “Darkly amorphous through-composed treatment with stirring ensembles” The Guardian
