Just a normal day in Shakespearean purgatory.

A short summary of Our project

Welcome to Shakespearean purgatory and Camden Fringe!!  This summer we aim to put together one wicked show ... not that one! The show is entitled 'Un-Shakespearean Nightmares' and will incorporate some of our favourite--'side' characters or 'lesser-known' characters from Shakespeare stepping out of their stories TO BE GRANTED their very own play!!!

This show is all about breaking rules, causing havoc, and philosophy (what??)—and it’s a real barrel of laughs from start to finish. Are characters always bound to their writer, or can they escape their fates? Come on in, and find out! 

Who are we?

I’m thrilled to introduce Just Add Salt, a theatre company founded by me, Bianca Tornea, a recent East 15 graduate. Together with 3 very silly Actors from various East 15 courses and a rogue Actor from Met Film School, our mission is to create dynamic, exciting work that’s distinctive and a little unexpected — like that amazing new dish you tried once and could never forget!

Out story

To make our show happen we need a miracle. Just kidding...

We need YOU!  

Our aim is to break some old dusty rules about what theatre should be  and show that Shakespeare can in fact be everyone's cup of tea. Laughter is on the house! By supporting this project you can help bring our vision to life, and play a crucial part in helping make our first original show post drama school a success. With these funds we can pay our venue, secure a rehearsal space where we can play and bring characters to life, source props, costumes and market our show effectively. This is a passion project and all actors involved are dedicating their time to this project voluntarily. With your help we can ensure that some travel costs are covered for our actors. The best part till last! We have some amazing rewards as a thank you for your help.

Where will the money go?

• Venue hire, Technician and Equipment 

• Costumes, Props and Set 

• Marketing, Promotional Material and Advertisement 

• Production costs and Transportation for Actors

Rewards

If thou openst up thy purse and givest any amount, our jester shall proclaim thy name in the town square, ahem, on our social media canals.

Bestow, but or more upon our noble cause, and though shalt receive A Ditty all thine own - to summon at thy heart's delight. 

Lay down thy 50£ or more and we shall crown thee with a bottle of red for thy merriment, a poster fair and hand signed by the cast, and of course your very own ditty. 

Wilt thou part with 100£ or more ? All of the above and a basket of Elizabethan delights shall now be the property of thou, and have we mentioned ... A Ditty!
