Dead Centre

“Shakespeare’s Last Play,” a witty and irreverent version of “The Tempest, staged at the Berlin Schaubühne by the directors of the Dublin-based theater company Dead Centre.
At the start of this brisk, 100-minute-long evening, the disembodied voice of Shakespeare guides five of the Schaubühne’s actors through the enchanted island (with help from GPS).
In the production’s unexpected second half, these minor characters get their revenge on their maker as they exhume Shakespeare’s rotting body from beneath the waters and set about eating him in a splatter-filled, cannibalistic orgy. “I love Shakespeare,” one actor opines, tearing the flesh off a decomposing arm. “He tastes like chicken.”
