Supermarket
Shakespeare
Sainsbury's, Lee Green, London
April 2008
Inspired
by one of Shakespeare's most famous sonnets, Teatro Vivo staged a
contemporary love story throughout the supermarket . Shoppers were able
to follow parts of the story as they picked up their weekly shop.
This was a show that reached the very heart of the community.
Combining verse with contemporary dialogue, this play brought some
tragedy and hilarity to, what is usally a mundane experience.
"I
don't know when I've
enjoyed a live performance so much. The actors were all brilliant -
compelling,
convincing with moments of real poignance. They
communicated the depth and fragility of
love and reactions to
audiences and unwilling extras was brilliant."

Here
But There
the Theatre Museum,Covent Garden
July 2007
Teatro Vivo in collaboration with
Theatre Museum youth group Theatre Live!
took Chekhov off the stage and put his work amongst the audience in an
enticing and evocative promenade production of the Three Sisters.
Fusing cello, electric cello, guitar and
disembodied electronica Sonver
created a unique soundscape to underscore this
story of dashed hopes and wasted dreams.
"innovative,
unusual and utterly addictive, this theatrical venture deserves all the
support it can get."

Here but There
An
interpretation of Anton Chekhov’s classic play Three Sisters. October
2006
The ghosts of a turn of the
century provincial Russian family are trapped in an eerie manor house,
caught in an endless purgatory of dashed hopes and wasted dreams. Here
they long for love, happiness and an answer to the purpose of their
existence, but will time run out before they achieve their wishes and
find their answers?
Performed
in a strange old Manor House, this was a fantastically inventive
interpretation "which felt all too close to
being in a real family with all it's unspoken tensions and conflicts
and yet impossible to take sides as each person's situation had such a
tragic history."

Lovers and Liars
Summer
2006 saw Manor House Gardens in Lewisham turned into the mad world of
Illyria from Twelfth Night as Teatro Vivo once again performed an
outdoor interpretation of a Shakespearean classic.
This
year the audience unpacked their hampers and popped the champagne to
the sounds of Lady Olivia bellowing across the park and Sir Toby Belch
giggling mischievously.
This
was a story about Revenge, Trickery and Unrequited Love. And we took
the audience on a hilarious adventure where darkness was lurking around
every corner. "All so cleverly and
painstakingly thought out, . . .
absolutely marvellous."

retold in a completely original way.
