ShakeItUp: The Improvised Shakespeare Show

Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age so we thought we would give him a hand…

Using his language your audience suggestions and our overactive imaginations ShakeItUp create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage complete with live music songs and plenty of laughs.

Pick your authentic Shakespearean genre: Epic History Romantic Comedy or Gruesome Tragedy! Pen your wittiest Shakespearean line for our brave actors to pull from their suitably Shakespearean breeches when they need a helping hand – the twist? They’ll have no idea what the line will be before they say it!

Then sit back and watch the hilarity unfold in a totally bonkers play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of. Expect big laughs high drama and plenty of bard-based bedlam!
