:
The Life and Death of King John by William Shakespeare
The Eleventh Hour
presents their award winning production of
The Life and Death of King John
In this rarely performed work of Shakespeare, King John wages internecine war with his own family and his people, in his determination to hold on to the throne.
Shakespeare's tale takes places in thirteenth century France and England; this version of the play is set six centuries later, during the First World War, but on the same battleground.
This time however, it's not the power brokers who tell the story but those condemned to carry out their orders.
The Eleventh Hour brings Shakespeare's most experimental and contemporary history play into sharp relief in the historic Queen's Theatre.
Directed by Anne Thompson, with William Henderson, Dramaturg, and Graeme Leak, Composer, the production features Anthony Ahearn, Richard Bligh, Christopher Brown, Michaela Cantwell, Angus Grant, Peter Houghton, Evelyn Krape, Jane Nolan, David Tredinnick and Greg Ulfan.
Multi award-winning company The Eleventh Hour has performed works by Samuel Beckett, Sarah Kane, Bertolt Brecht, Oscar Wilde and William Shakespeare, all to wide critical and public acclaim. The Life and Death of King John received Green Room Awards for Best Adaptation and Best Production.
