Yorick Plays

Experience Shakespeare the way it was meant to be enjoyed: through performance. Your iPhone becomes the supporting cast as you perform Shakespeare.

Choose the roles you want to perform and Yorick reads the rest with real performances from voice actors.

Built for actors, educators, students or anyone who wants to experience Shakespeare the way it was meant to be: through performance!
• Run lines for a production, class, or audition
• Cast yourself in one role or several
• Rehearse scenes or work through a full play
• Let Yorick perform the other characters with performances from real human voice actors!

LISTENS AND FOLLOWS
Yorick uses speech recognition to keep your place as you speak. If you lose the thread, jump ahead, or need another pass, the rehearsal controls stay in your hands.

RECORD AND REVIEW
Record the roles you perform, listen back after the session, compare your takes, and re-record lines that need more work. Save a performance as a draft, or sign in to share a qualifying performance for other actors to use in their own casts.

EXPLORE THE TEXT
Pause on a passage for:
• Plain-language translations
• Scene and character context
• Practical performance notes
• AI-assisted questions and conversation

Bookmark important lines, add personal notes, and save useful conversations for later.

YOUR CAST, YOUR REHEARSAL
Choose a sound for each Yorick role, preview available recordings, save complete casts, and return to an in-progress performance without rebuilding your setup.

From Hamlet and Macbeth to the histories, comedies, and romances, Yorick turns Shakespeare’s plays into an active rehearsal room you can carry with you.
