Shakespeare Stories: six musical plays at Le Lucernaire

Shakespeare Stories, Uncle Will’s Tales lands at the Lucernaire in Paris, from November 4, 2026 to January 17, 2027. Ned Grujic adapts and directs six Shakespearean works in three programs, staged in alternation, suitable for ages 8 and up.

The first volume brings together Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, the second includes The Tempest and Hamlet, the third gathers Falstaff and Othello. The performers alternate between narration, character, singing and instrumental passages in a staging inspired by trestle-stage theatre.
