Eight people enjoy a fine day at an outdoor café. At first glance, it could be a scene from anywhere in the modern world until they begin to speak. Eight characters from five different Shakespeare plays discuss love, revenge, deceit and power in overheard conversations using Shakespeare's original language, set against the backdrop of coffee, cakes and waitresses in crisp white shirts.
