Greene Shoots Theatre specialise
in adapting classic texts for large ensemble-style casts. Pieces are performed using a number of acting techniques including
physical theatre, mime and chorus work. In our latest pieces, we have also included elements of slapstick and clowning. Based
in Berkhamsted in Herts, we have also performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe over a number of years, where reviewers
have described our work as follows:"mesmerising adaptation... impeccable cast... slick chorus
of talented individuals"
Three Weeks (2003)"the young cast performs with verve and passion... it makes
an impact" Counter
Culture Magazine (2003)"embraces the farcical elements in the play with gusto... cohesive design,
well chosen music and an enthusiastic cast" Three Weeks (2006) "This
adaptation uses music and physical theatre to create an exciting visual performance.... the effect was to produce a very modern
and watchable interpretation. ... Their performance was energetic and very entertaining. Their comic timing was excellent
and it was very much an ensemble. " Counter Culture Magazine (2006)
Our current production is a new adaptation

due to run at the Edinburgh Festival from 15th - 21st August 2010 at 11.15 a.m. C, Venue 34, at Adam
