In April 2011, after more than 50 years of violent struggle, the Republic of South Sudan became the world's newest country. The South Sudan Theatre Company's Cymbeline, the first ever adaptation of Shakespeare into Juba Arabic, draws on the performance traditions of the horn of Africa. Led by renowned writer Taban Lo Liyong, the adaptation draws on local accents, modern slang and myth, to create a show that resonates with contemporary life and politics in South Sudan. Director: Joseph Abuk & Derik Uya Alfred. Year: 2012.

All's Well That Ends Well

Available now

All’s Well That Ends Well grinds the romantic against the realistic at every turn and brilliantly reverses all the usual expectations of Shakespearean comedy. And some of Shakespeare’s most inventive language gives life to not just his single-minded heroine and her churlish lover, but a fantastic cast of frauds, cynics, sentimentalists and buffoons. This was the first production of All’s Well That Ends Well at the Globe. Director: John Dove. Year: 2011
