The Little Shakespeare Festival at FRIGID New York, curated by Conor Mullen, is a celebration of independent theatre and performance that takes inspiration from the immortal bard, William Shakespeare. This year's theme is “ShakesPUNK.”
Like it or not, Shakespearean theatre has become part of the establishment: easy, predictable, and safe. But we don’t think that’s how Shakespeare should be. That’s not what we’re here for. We’re here for Shakespeare that challenges, that shocks, that’s loud and grimy and angry. That’s punk! That’s ShakesPUNK. We’re challenging the Shakespearean status quo with the punkest, weirdest, queerest, angriest Shakespeare-adjacent theater you’ve ever seen!
