If Paris is ready for a musical version of Hamlet the people to call are Shakespeare 4 Kidz - a UK company which tours unique easy-to-understand adaptations of 6 of the Bard's plays. We'd love to perform in the park over there! Check us out at www.shakespeare4kidz.com
You'd enjoy our Midsummer Night's Dream, Tempest, Macbeth, Twelfth Night or Romeo & Juliet too. That one's just come back from a smash hit tour of the Gulf.
