ShakeItUp: The Improvised Shakespeare Show
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, ShakeItUp create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage.
Pick your genre: Epic History, Romantic Comedy, or Gruesome Tragedy! Pen your wittiest line for our actors to pull from their suitably-Shakespearean breeches – the twist? They’ll have no idea what they’ll say until the moment arrives.
Then sit back as hilarity unfolds in a bonkers play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of.
Expect big laughs, high drama, and Bard-based bedlam!
“Quick witted, inexhaustible and absolutely hysterical.” – London Theatre Reviews
