ShakeItUp: The Improvised Shakespeare Show

ShakeItUp Theatre in association with Benjamin Alborough

7 - 31 AUG - 12:35
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, we create a brand new Shakespeare play live on stage, complete with big laughs, high drama, and plenty of Bard-based Bedlam! 'Quick-witted, inexhaustible and absolutely hysterical' ***** (LondonTheatreReviews.co.uk). 'Brilliantly bonkers! One of the best improvised shows at the Fringe' ***** (WestEndBestFriend.co.uk). 'Masters of improv, brilliant fun for all' ***** (TheatreScotland.co.uk). 'This is a must see' ***** (AYoungishPerspective.co.uk).
