IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE: A CabareT in honour of Shakespeare
This show was first performed on April 23rd 2016 at Watermans Arts Centre's Shakespeare Reloaded Festival to commemorate the 400 year anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
The Ruby Dolls are taking on The Bard! Join us as we sing our way through love, madness, revenge, murder and lust in If Music Be the Food of Love. With jokes, the biggest ‘Yorrick’ you’ve ever seen on stage and maybe a ruff or two. Discover Shakespeare as you’ve never experienced him before – accompanied by Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, Barbara Streisand and some 16th century ditties, sung in gorgeous close part harmony. They reckon Shakespeare was quite a fan of cabaret…
“Music oft hath such a charm
To make bad good, and good provoke to harm”
Measure For Measure.
Rubies in the snow
This show was commissioned by The Other Palace (formerly St James Theatre) in London & was then taken by The Stahl Theatre in Peterborough at Christmas 2016. Here The Dolls play fast and loose with Charles Dickens, in their own version of A Christmas Carol. The ghosts are far more glamorous than usual, and Scrooge wears a frock. The soundtrack contains your Christmas favourites with all the trimmings, decked with Joni Mitchell, the late George Michael & David Bowie, as well as some surprises. Join us for a kiss under the mistletoe and a night of Yuletide fun to get you into the festive spirit for 2017!
