BRTK Premieres Shakespeare’s Merry Wives
The Baraka theater team’s “purple comedy” play, “Shakespeare’s Merry Wives”, made its debut with a stellar performance. In an announcement by the Baraka Cultural Center, it was revealed that the play will be showcased once again at the Arabahmet Culture House tomorrow at 20.00.
Tickets for the show, priced at 30 TL, can be purchased at Khora Kitap Cafe or at the venue entrance starting from 7.30 on the day of the performance. Theater enthusiasts aged 12 and above are encouraged to attend this unique production.
The play creatively weaves together female characters from Shakespearean classics like Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Taming of the Shrew, and The Merchant of Venice, along with the clown character. The plot revolves around these characters finding themselves in a forest, living a life of leisure until circumstances lead them to enter the workforce and face the challenges of working women. Will these fictional characters evolve and adapt to the realities of the labor world?
The cast includes Feray Karahüseyin Ergin, Merin Olgun, Muhammed Said Alpsoy, Serap Kızıl, and Şifa Alçıoğlu, under the direction of Nazen Şansal. The original music for the production has been composed by the Sol Anahtar music group and musician Ahmet Güvenler.
The Baraka theater team extends their gratitude to the Turkish Cypriot State Theaters for costume support and the Department of Culture for their financial contributions towards making this production a reality. Don’t miss the chance to witness this innovative and entertaining play that promises to deliver laughter and insight into the world of Shakespearean characters.
