The Play's The Thing

From the director of last year's As You Like It, The Play's the Thing is Shakespeare as Shakespeare intended, performed in the open air...packed with comedy, romance, tragedy...full of life!

Mistaken identity, magic, trickery, murder, tyranny and treachery, love and laughter. Shakespeare for everyone!

This delightful and engaging show contains selected scenes from many of Shakespeare's most popular works including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's dream and more.

This performance will be held on the front lawn of The Swallow Theatre. Please bring a camping chair or rug, and appropriate clothing. Our usual range of hot and cold drinks will be available for purchase from the theatre bar.

In the event of bad weather the performance will move into the theatre.
