Because of lead times for printing, programmes for my shows are often a bit vague and/or wrong. He's the programme information for Undead Bard - running at Theatre N16 till Thursday 13th October 7.30pm
Milk Bottle Productions Presents
Undead Bard
Written, Performed and Produced by Robert Crighton
Pre-Show Audio Work: To Be Or Not
An audio piece where the most famous speech in Shakespeare is pulled apart by automated translation programs from online.
The Shakespeare Delusion
First performed in 2012, The Shakespeare Delusion has gone through a number of adjustments and changes - though directed by Robert, it has been adjusted by many kind souls - and special credit must be given for numerous notes given by Colin Watkeys prior to performance at the Face to Face Festival in 2014.
Interval Audio Work: If You Like It
A soundscape where the never ended cycle of recommendations for Shakespeare becomes a hall of mirrors.
Shakespeare: The Ever Living!
The original music for this production was composed and recorded by Jack Lawson
Additional Online Material
The Missing Years - Online Audio

Audience Comments for earlier ‘Undead Bard’ show ‘The Shakespeare Delusion’ (2014): “Fabulous production... Just recovering from high octane performance of @RobertCrighton The Shakespeare Delusion #immense... I SO knew where The Shakespeare Delusion was going - & I was SO wrong!!! Chekhov meets Berkoff as performed by Stephen Fry.”

Official Blurb for the Show...
Shakespeare is dead, but he just won’t stop talking. His words are immortal, but they keep changing. Award-winning writer and performer Robert Crighton explores the current boom in Shakespeare and how everything is now devoted to his holy name. Undead Bard is an unholy smorgasbord of play, comedy, and music, pulling apart Shakespeare, Bardolatry, and the modern world, for your pleasure.
