A young, majority-black theatre company’s rewriting of Shakespeare will “change the face of classical theatre” by bringing the bard’s work back to the “slang” in which it was born, Sir Mark Rylance has said.
Rylance, an esteemed Shakespearean actor and the first artistic director of the Globe, is a trustee of Intermission Youth Theatre, a charity that aims to transform the lives of disadvantaged young people by getting them to perform Shakespeare’s work.
