Twelfth Night
3 Actors, 12 characters and a “12th Night” full of mischief!
Our three hander version of Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola's adventures and streamlines the story and characters to make a simpler, faster paced text, whilst still remaining true to Shakespeare's words and story.
All characters are played by three actors in a whirlwind of frantic costume (and gender!) changes, using an innovative set, with an entirely original musical score.
Featuring gender neutral casting, the play is performed in period costume and lot's of energy!
This show inspires laughter and discussion, through exciting modern twists mixed with traditional roots.
You can catch this show on the following dates:
Friday 3rd August - Secret Garden Location, Western Under Whetherley @ 7.30pm
Saturday 4th August - Cropthorne Playing Field, Pershore @ 7.30pm
Friday 10th August - Feckenham Village @ 7.30pm

Barred
A Shakespearean variety show with a twist!
After the huge success of our debut shakespearean variety show, ‘Damsels, Hags and Heroines’, the company have created an even more hilarious version by adding ‘Heroes, Cads and Villains’. The new production consists of cherry picked scenes, songs and speeches from some of Shakespeare’s most well loved plays, including Beatrice from ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, The Witches from ’Macbeth’ and Caliban, Trinculo and Stephano from ’The Tempest’.
The show is accompanied by live music from the cast, using original songs from the bard himself, that have been given a fresh twist by our Musical Director.
This all female production is suitable for audiences of any age and never fails to leave them wanting more.
