Cunard will be taking Shakespeare and new work to the high seas in 2022, as it joins forces in a first-of-its-kind partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) to bring world-class theatre to its transatlantic stage.<\/p>\n
Available exclusively on-board Queen Mary 2, guests will enjoy tailored theatrical performances by the RSC, which creates captivating theatre by Shakespeare, his contemporaries and other literary legends past and present.<\/p>\n
The performances will be available for all guests on board the flagship, including a unique blend of Shakespeare\u2019s iconic love scenes in a brand-new piece called Boundless as the Sea, created by Owen Horsley.<\/p>\n
Guests will also have the opportunity to see critically acclaimed new work from the RSC with Miss Littlewood: a musical by Sam Kenyon exploring the life of one of theatre\u2019s most playful and radical figures, making its transatlantic debut.<\/p>\n
For those interested in learning what it takes to be an RSC actor, the on-board cast will be leading a series of workshops that explore their craft.<\/p>\n
Guests will also be able to access \u2018Shakespeare Tales,\u2019 intimate, informal events where the actors will perform their personal favourite sonnets and speeches, and answer questions from the audience.<\/p>\n
Vice President, brand and product at Cunard, Lee Powell, said: \u201cWe are delighted to welcome the Royal Shakespeare Company on board our flagship, Queen Mary 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be able to offer our guests access to unique performances by world leaders in both contemporary theatre and Shakespeare\u2019s finest work, is an extraordinary opportunity which I know our guests will fully immerse themselves in.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three-year partnership will begin on in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
