Event information
Drawn from across Shakespeare's comic canon, this 75-minute production distils scenes from some of the Bard's most celebrated plays into a single fast-paced theatrical evening. Directed by Two Tall Ladies, the production welcomes new creative voices Will van der Leij and Simon Jones to the team, alongside a cast that combines seasoned Playhouse Theatre performers with newer faces making their mark on the Somerset West stage.
The programme draws from A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, The Taming of the Shrew, and additional comedies, weaving together themes of mistaken identity, romantic chaos, and wordplay. Running without an interval, the show is structured as an accessible introduction to Shakespeare's work as well as a revisit for those already familiar with the plays.
The Playhouse Theatre is a community-run, non-profit venue with an on-site parking lot accommodating 42 vehicles. Car guards are present on performance nights.
