Inspired by William Shakespeare’s classical play, the performers tell the story of this ill-fated romance, while baking a cheesecake named after the two main characters. The blood of the lovers is guava jam, the sword fights are performed with spatulas and a bite of a Rich Tea biscuit can be a delicious alternative to a broken heart. After the success of Hamlet sou eu and GrandaPinta, Teatro Praga are returning to Teatro Maria Matos with a surprising interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic play.
