Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so ShakeItUp thought they’d give him a hand!

Using his language, your audience suggestions and their overactive imaginations, marvel as they create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage in The Improvised Shakespeare Show.

Pick your authentic Shakespearean genre: Epic History, Romantic Comedy or Gruesome Tragedy! Pen your wittiest Shakespearean line for our brave actors to pull from their suitably-Shakespearean breeches when they need a helping hand. The twist? They’ll have no idea what the line will be before they say it!

Then sit back and watch the hilarity unfold in a totally bonkers play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of. Expect big laughs, high drama and plenty of Bard-based Bedlam!
