Backstage Stories

by Terrasse Ensemble & Mementaλ Theatre Group

June & December 2024 Theater Stok, Zürich

Backstage Stories combines Shakespeare with today’s reality, fantasy with truth, comedy with drama, offering the audience a chance to see theatre from a different perspective. 

A theatre group plans to stage a modern adaptation of a classic Shakespearean play. However, what should remain in the background suddenly lands on stage. The actors' anxiety and rivalries, the cast's disagreements, technical errors, a shared secret that is revealed and an unexpected event will lead the show off track. How will the cast finally manage to present Shakespeare's text? The audience will only find out through a series of comic situations.
