About the Event

Eminent Irish actor Denis Rafter uses the instinctive art of the Irish Storyteller bring out from each actor and actress the essence of the Shakespeare text, focusing on:


- how to tell the truth of the story


- maintaining the poetic brilliance of the text


- maintaining the passion and emotion of the character


- being true to the character within the context of the play and in relationship to the other characters


- involving the audience emotionally and intellectually with the play


As his basis, he will be using some of the most famous monologues from Shakespeare:


1. Now is the winter of our discontent


~ Richard III, Act 1, scene 1.


2. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;


~ Henry V, Act 3, scene 1.


3. Here's a knocking indeed!


~ Macbeth, Act 2, scene 3.


4. Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises


~ The Tempest, Act 3, scene 2.


5. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?


~ Sonnet XVIII


6. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?


~ Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, scene 2.


7. Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc'd it to you,


~ Hamlet, Act 3, scene 2.


8. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;


~ Julius Caesar, Act 3, scene 2.


9. To be, or not to be; that is the question:


~ Hamlet, Act 3, scene 1.


10. All the world's a stage,


And all the men and women merely players;


~ As you like it, Act 3, scene 1.


Participants are advised to familiarize themselves with these speeches and learn at least one of them by heart. The roles need not be gender specific, i.e. a woman could play Romeo and a man could play Ophelia.
