Enemies. Balconies. Kissing. Sausage rolls!?
Shakespeare's epic tale of star-crossed lovers has been 'Rubbished!!!'
Sporting a national reputation - from Edinburgh Festival Fringe to collaborations with the Royal Shakespeare Company and national school tours - this all-male, all-silly, troupe present Shakespeare's most anarchic and silliest tragedy ever.
Expect an hour of wigs, water and floppy swords. Celebrate as Romeo and his bearded beloved meet, marry and unite their warring families. Guffaw as all the while our four highly-strung performers squabble, bicker and strive to have the last laugh.
Rubbish Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet is perfect, both as an introduction to Shakespeare or for even the most ardent fan of the bard - from wide-eyed schoolboy to cultured Nan and everything inbetween. A true family show that really is Shakespeare For All.
