We can promise you, you’ve never seen a Shakespeare like this before (because it doesn’t actually exist yet!) Shake it Up Shakespeare will be causing havoc at The Other Palace, as they create a new masterpiece to add to the bards impressive portfolio live on stage each night. This completely improvised comedy (or History, or Tragedy) will be playing at The Other Palace for a strictly limited five-day run. Book your tickets now!

What is ShakeItUp about?

It’s about anything you want it to be, it’s completely improvised each night (and matinee)! Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so Shake it Up Shakespeare thought they would help him out of his writers’ block (the 82nd play is notoriously the hardest to pen) and give him a hand. Using audience suggestions and the performers overactive imaginations, a brand-new Shakespeare play is created live on stage each night.

Complete with live music, songs and plenty of laughs, the quick-witted company weave together the themes (mainly misidentify), characters (mainly twins) and language of Shakespeare, to create an unforgettable evening that the Bard himself would have been proud to put his name to (...probably!).
