Enemies. Balconies. Kissing... SAUSAGE ROLLS!!??
Three hapless idiots perform Shakespeare’s famous tragedy using nothing but a box of tatty wigs, a worn floral dress, and a burst airbed they found by the bins.
This award-winning, frenetic 60 minutes of fourth-wall-breaking, ludicrous action features clowning, slapstick, and mischievous storytelling, ensuring everyone from 5 to 105 knows what’s going on!
The Rubbish Shakespeare Company takes liberties with the language, splicing the classic text with one-liners and physical comedy that could make a stuntman blush. This isn’t boring Shakespeare – it’s bonkers!
Described as “pure rubbish and you’ll love every minute” ★★★★★ (Wee Review), this is “high-class entertainment” ★★★★★ (Fringe Review) and “side-splittingly funny” ★★★★ (The List). It’s a “genius way to bring the Bard to fresh audiences” ★★★★★ (West End Best Friend).
SUITABLE FOR AGES 5-105!
Wednesday, 18th February - 2pm
Tickets: £15 (£7)
