UPDATED Trailer for Michael Hurst's newest play, Bard Day's Night (to be called No Holds Bard in Scotland). The solo show has Hurst acrobatically beating himself up as King Lear, Othello, Hamlet, and Macbeth while swearing, spitting, eating, and spouting innovative Shakespearean dialogue with himself. The play is technically a work in progress, but the official runs in New Zealand and Australia so far have been sold out every night and received outstanding reviews. Hurst has always been known for his amazingly extreme physicality on stage, but his backflips and self-torture in his solo show have literally been drawing gasps from the audience. Definitely not a play to be missed.

(Bard Day's Night is currently on hiatus until October after a hugely successful run in New Zealand and Australia. Since May, Michael has been directing Spartacus during the day and starring in nonstop runs of Silo Theatre's Tribes or his solo show by night. He is currently taking a break by teaching the exclusive Actor's Program in New Zealand and will then take his solo show to the NZ Nelson Arts Festival in October, and later to Scotland. A 2013 tour of his solo show is also being planned with country destinations to be announced)
