CUNARD Line is taking Shakespeare to the high seas this year with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in a first-of-its-kind partnership.
Available exclusively on board Queen Mary 2, guests will enjoy tailored theatrical performances by RSC, available for all guests, including a unique blend of Shakespeare’s iconic love scenes in a brand-new piece, Boundless as the Sea.
Guests will also have the opportunity to view critically acclaimed new work from RSC with Miss Littlewood, in its trans-Atlantic debut.
The musical explores the life of one of theatre’s most playful and radical figures.
For those interested in learning what it takes to be an RSC actor, the cast will be leading a series of workshops that explore their craft.
Guests will also be able to access ‘Shakespeare Tales’, informal events where the actors will perform their personal favourite sonnets and speeches, and answer questions from the audience.
In addition, Queen Mary 2 will host a touring exhibition, ‘Digital Diorama: An Augmented Journey Through Shakespeare’s Stratford’, in which guests will use devices to experience scenes from the playwright’s stories come to life before their eyes.
