Shake it Up: The Improvised Shakespeare Show
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.” *****

About This Event
6th & 7th June 1pm £8
This is Marks second solo show, the first one, The Eggman,completed a successful run for four weeks at The Edinburgh fringe at the underbelly.
This time round the theme is pie and murder and in no particular order. How are they linked? What recipes are used? Most importantly whether it’s a savoury or sweet pie something sinister is lurking under the crust, deception will always hold a story waiting to be chomped on. These tales are entwined and held together with lashings of accompanying condiments and there is always room for a second slice.
Mark has managed the Hen and chickens for a very long time and is enjoying immensely the birth of the Hatchery and cracking all the eggs to help bake new ideas and stories.

He thinks he’s with it and level and everything’s fine. But it’s not. I see it as clear as day. He’s lonely and can’t even admit it. It’s not an easy thing to admit, obviously.
_A Thousand Times Smaller_ is a play about wanting more, feeling small, and staying totally, completely stable.
