Shake it Up Shakespeare

Shakespeare hasn't written anything new for an age, so we thought we would give him a hand…

​Using his language, your audience suggestions and our overactive imaginations, we create a brand new Shakespeare play every single night!

Complete with live music, songs and plenty of laughs, we weave together the themes, characters and language of Shakespeare to create an unforgettable evening that the Bard himself would have been proud to pen (…probably!).
