Enemies. Balconies. Kissing... SAUSAGE ROLLS!!??
The Rubbish Shakespeare Company presents a tragedy like no other. Three hapless idiots attempt the Bard’s most famous love story using nothing but a box of tatty wigs, a worn floral dress, and a burst airbed found by the bins.
This acclaimed take on Romeo & Juliet is a riotous hour of frenetic slapstick, clowning and fourth-wall-breaking chaos. Taking huge liberties with the original text, the company splices Shakespeare’s classic lines with modern gags, physical comedy and gloriously silly storytelling that keeps everyone - from age 5 to 105 - completely hooked.
Described as “like Horrible Histories but funnier” (Primary Times), this joyful production throws out the dusty rules of high art and celebrates the ridiculous heart of Shakespeare - and theatre itself.
This isn't boring Shakespeare - it’s bonkers!
