Venus & Adonis
- Artists
- Act V Theatre Company, Act Five Theatre Company
Bristol’s Act V Theatre Company stage one of Shakespeare’s earliest and best-selling publications.
“The poem of Venus and Adonis is an incredibly sensual retelling of Ovid’s poem that adds twists and turns to the ancient tale.
In Shakespeare’s version, Venus is a lusty seductress, unused to having her will declined and her love unrequited.
“Adonis, a beautiful young mortal man, would rather go hunting, and while he almost succumbs to her godly guiles, manages to keep her at bay.”
Apr 3-7, 8pm, £10.50/£8.50 concs.
