A truly brilliant, funny show for all ages with excellent performers who even improvise in rhyme. Definitely go and see it!

Climate change in the Amazonian rainforest during the Trojan war was the basis for today’s Shakespeare Improv and it was all totally barmy but very funny!

Brilliant and funny. Improv is difficult in itself, but improvising a Shakespearian play is most impressive. Taking suggestions from the audience as to the main plot points of the play - the performers ingeniously used available props to tell the story of a yeti on Mt. Everest, and the challenges of trying to grow grapes to make wine on the snowy slopes. There was more of course, and it was hilarious. Definitely worth a visit.

This company is amazingly creative. With a bit of audience participation, they improvise a complete five act play in the style (language and plot) of Shakespeare. It was hilarious and very entertaining. Great for children as well as adults.
