A dot-com billionaire pays an esteemed American theatre company to translate Shakespeare into English (Wait. What?). A sly comedy inspired by an (unbelievably) true story, Polishing Shakespeare is a brilliant and thought-provoking new play by Brian Dykstra.

Critically acclaimed, Polishing Shakespeare has been praised for its intelligent wordplay, incisive wit, and keen exploration of the power dynamics that shape the arts world. Whether you are a Shakespeare purist, a lover of contemporary theatre, or someone intrigued by the ongoing debate over commercial influence in creative expression, this play offers something profound and entertaining. Through its intricate verse and compelling storytelling, Polishing Shakespeare raises important questions: Should artistic works be translated for modern audiences? Who gets to decide what is accessible or relevant? And ultimately, how much compromise is too much when it comes to artistic vision? With its dazzling mix of humor, satire, and Shakespearean homage, Polishing Shakespeare is a must-see production that will leave audiences both laughing and contemplating long after the final curtain call.

'To sell out or not to sell out - is that the question?'
