Sign of The Times

Part of York International Shakespeare Festival

Shakespeare’s worlds of ’Hamlet’, ’Othello’, and ’Romeo and Juliet’ intertwine where time plays its eternal double game. 

It either pushes, provokes, and forces the heroes to make choices under the pressure of its unstoppable movement or loses its power and halts under the force of true feelings. Yet, ancient plots do not submit to time…

Different heroes, different paths and fates, yet similar hesitations, the same questions, and unconquered power of love. In the end, they will make their choice, but can they escape the consequences?..

And does that choice truly belong to the heroes? Maybe the decision has been made for them long since — by the time, fate, by Shakespeare?…

To be, or not to be? That is the question.
