The Show

Fast, funny and irreverent Shakespeare performed in your local pub. This troupe of actors will have you dying with laughter, singing along with pub classics, and most importantly, doing something you never thought you'd do. Love Shakespeare.

Synopsis

Rosalind and her best mate Celia are banished to the mysterious Forest of Arden, after catching the eye of the dashing Orlando at a wrestling match..... As you do.

What comes next is a story of cross-dressing, dodgy poetry, classic love songs, and plenty of ridiculous gags.
