Classical playwriting and hip-hop meet in an electrifying lyrical brew, as the Bard is re-imagined as a playground battle rapper! Also featuring the Weird Sisters' account of their dealings with Macbeth, Othello in the style of Eminem's Stan and a psychotically rhythmic insight into Hamlet's inner turmoil, Charlie uses rap and rhythm to retell some of the best known works with a riveting contemporary slant. Also featuring Oliver Willems & Oktawia Petronella on strings. Words & Whippets returns for its third year running with another spectacular showcase of spoken word. Compered by York's Henry Raby, this evening of entertaining, thoughtful, satirical and hilarious performances celebrates poetry from across Yorkshire, inspired by Shakespeare. PLUS The Stories of Shakey P performed by Charlie Dupre.
