Shake it Up: The Improvised Shakespeare Show


2nd February, 2nd March, 6th April, 4th May, 1st June 7.30pm £13

Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so we thought we’d give him a hand. Using his language, your audience suggestions and our overactive imaginations, we create a brand new Shakespeare play live on stage! Join ShakeItUp Theatre for an evening of improvised Bard-based Bedlam. Every show is a classic Shakespeare would have been proud to write…. (probably).
“Quick witted, inexhaustible and absolutely hysterical.” *****
