Description

A sophisticated and symbolic exploration and portrayal of the poignant literary works of Shakespeare? Not really. A chaotic adventure through all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays – the comedies, the tragedies, and the other ones. A hectic and intense performance, with some running, some jumping, and some cracking costumes. Featuring Titus Andronicus as a cooking show, Troilus and Cressida as an interpretative dance piece, and the rest of the histories as an American football game – our show will be sure to make you laugh out loud.

One of the best shows this year! Absolutely brilliant - and a perfect abbreviation of the abridged version! Three young guys, working their hearts out on stage. We predict a brigth future.

I admit I was worried when I realised this was a show by three 17 year old boys, BUT they hit it just right, the whole thing was so absurd I cried tears of laughter
What else have you got to do at 11am? Go cram some culture by seeing all 37 plays (even the crap ones) before lunch

High energy, laugh out loud yomp through the works of the bard.
Three young men with bundles of energy and confidence take the audience from comedies to tragedies to histories (and the other ones). We've seen the Lord Chamberlain's men a few times and this was reminiscent of that with a good measure of 21st century social media/chat gpt references thrown in. We laughed out loud a lot and would highly recommend this. Thank you.
