Accidental Shakespeare Company presents a virtual film production of Romeo and Juliet, to air in five weekly installments on their YouTube channel, free of charge, beginning on May 15, 2021.
Links to each episode will be made accessible on Accidental Shakespeare Company’s Facebook page.
This production of Romeo and Juliet was originally announced, cast, and intended to be performed live, in 2020. Once the COVID-19 pandemic began and all live theatre was postponed, director Iris Sowlat brought together the original cast and adapted her concept for a digital medium, using Zoom calls, self-tapes, socially-distant filming, and other video art.
Iris Sowlat chose to set this production as “…a period piece of the 2020 pandemic. We tell stories to understand the world around us, and, if we’re producing Romeo and Juliet now, in the middle of this specific time of national trauma, this current historical moment is the best possible setting. I’m intentionally using this cultural moment to explore what it’s like to meet the love of your life, someone who you immediately know really hears you, amidst these uncertain times, and then be separated from the one you love.”
The majority of the cast are women and non-binary actors, and Romeo and Juliet are intentionally played as a queer couple. Sowlat, who has a passion for queering the canon, says that “Romeo and Juliet is the most beautiful and iconic love story of all time, and I would love to give the world a chance to see this story unfold with a queer pairing. There’s something so revolutionary about queer love that is on-mission with the theme of the play. In a world that prioritizes violence, prioritizing peace, love, and pleasure is a revolutionary act.”

An original retelling of the French Classic by Edmond Rostand, this romantic comedy follows Cyrano, a female soldier, in a tale of unrequited love. As she vies for the beautiful Roxanne, Cyrano wrestles with self-doubt, body-shaming, and toxic masculinity in a world of "all's fair in love and war," armed with sword-like quips, fair friends, and more than a fair amount of pastries.

Part of Occupy the Stage 2020 at the Women’s Theatre Festival
by Shea Stanley.
Everyone has sex on 21-year old Morgan’s birthday - except Morgan. Based on “Mrs. Dalloway,” TEQUILA HERSELF follows Morgan as she gets ready for her birthday bash and tries to convince her friends she is definitely completely over what happened a year ago. Between a nasty hangover, a campus-wide scandal, and an omnipresent a capella group, it’s going to be a long day.
Part of Occupy the Stage 2020 at the Women’s Theatre Festival
This abstract play by Jace Peters-White follows the emotional journey of Q, a questioning gender diverse individual assigned female at birth (AFAB). Q takes us through their entire life starting from the moment they were born all the way to their young adulthood. Through self reflection and help from an unexpected source, Q has to decide whether they will show their truth or hide who they are.
Join Quicksilver Shakespeare Company for an evening with William Shakespeare's spooky and supernatural side. A group of actors will be reading some of Shakespeare's most famous paranormal scenes from throughout his body of work via Zoom. Together they'll pass through the icy ramparts of Elsinore in HAMLET, the bloody and foggy Scottish moors of MACBETH, a dark and stormy nightmare-ridden house in JULIUS CAESAR, and the haunted nocturnal battlefield of RICHARD III.
Double double, toil and trouble!
Join the Shakes-Squad as we tackle one of Shakespeare's spookiest plays, just in time for Halloween!
Quicksilver Shakespeare Company is bringing back Mercury Hamlet! Previously suspended due to COVID-19, the show has been retooled for the Zoom space.
For this Inaugural Performance of our Zoom Reading Series, to further our mission of Diversity and Inclusion in Theatre Arts, our Social Justice Think tank proposed an all BIPOC Ensemble.
The Ensemble then elected to donate 100% of the proceeds for this public digital performance to Brave Space Alliance.
Mercury Hamlet returns this spring bigger and better than ever! Join us on Friday the 13th to raise a glass with the cast and help us raise some funds for our next tour.
Remember, it is a custom to take your rouse!
From 7-8pm, $10 will get you a wristband for unlimited drinks and that money goes right back to Quicksilver Shakespeare Company! After 8pm we get kickbacks from every drink purchased, so plan to make like the King of Denmark and party the night away with us!
Be sure to mention you’re with the Mercury Hamlet fundraiser and which ensemble member brought you when you arrive.
Some of the greatest battles in history are unrecorded. Some of the bloodiest wars are fought right at home. When a pair of sovereign siblings sit down for breakfast with two hearty appetites and one cereal box between them, a battle cry is heard across the kingdom of New Brunswick. There will be blood—and perhaps orange juice.

Who doesn’t love to “do a new concept” or have a “fresh take” or “totally recontextualize” Shakespeare “for the modern audience”? In To Thine Own Self Be Shrew, The Shrews arrive fully costumed in a random theme: could be 1950s New York City, Panama City Beach 2013, or the zombie apocalypse. We ask the audience for the title of an actual Shakespeare play, and the “director” gives their “directors note” to the audience on their “concept” for the show, and our one-act improvised Shakespeare play ensues!

Please join us for an abridged reading of Cymbeline, hosted by the Shrews! All attendees are welcome to submit their names for parts that will be chosen by lottery. Or, you can just come to hang out and listen! This is the perfect casual event if you are interested in joining The Shrews and would like to learn more!
We will kick things off at 2:30PM with introductions and assignment of parts. The reading will start 3:00PM and should last about 90 minutes.
A portion of drinks sales during this event will go to The Shrews. As The Shrews have a focus on accessibility, this money is used toward rehearsal space, coaches, poster printing, etc. This is so none of our ensemble members need to chip in their own money. We are so grateful to My Buddy's for their generous support hosting this event!
