Is This a Dogfish I See Before Me?MöcShplat is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen him
by Amy Barratt
You thought a one-man Hamlet was messing with the classics? That was nothing compared to a four-clown send-up of the Scottish play.
Geordie Productions, into its 30th year and flirting with theatre for grownups, has brought back MöcShplat, Clowns Gone Bad’s collective creation dating back to 1997. It’s playing at Centaur Theatre this weekend and next with daytime performances through the week for highschool groups.
The kids are going to have a blast. This is an adaptation of Shakespeare by a group of people who know the original material very well but aren’t afraid to throw 90% of it out and just riff on what’s left.
