What’s a Shakey Slam? A fundraiser… with a difference!
Performers will present a Shakespearean monologue to our judging panel and battle it out to become a ‘Shakey Slam Champion.‘
Hosted by comedian and long-time MSC community member, Maxwell Simon, the night will be fun and frivolous to raise support for our highly anticipated season of Hamlet at fortyfivedownstairs. The judging panel includes our wonderful Artistic Director Jennifer Sarah Dean, the fabulous Director of Hamlet Iain Sinclair and the terrifically talented Casting Director Rosie Traynor.
Join us at the Alex Theatre on the 28th of July, at 6pm!
