Who is our work for?
Our work appeals to ages great and small! Our Shakespeare Double Bills are quintessentially British in their style of comedy. It's pantomime meets theatre in-the-park!
We advise that our show is suitable for audiences of four years and above in order to fully understand and appreciate the fast natured story telling. This however does not mean younger children can’t enjoy the larger-than-life characters and frenzy of our performance. The shows never will include any inappropriate language or depravities thus making the atmosphere suitable for all.

Theatres, Studio Spaces, Pubs, Garden Centres, Care Homes, Schools, Stately Homes, Fields, Car Parks; anywhere our audiences are willing to watch. Within 40 minutes you will feel like you have known us forever. We cater for professional theatres, outdoor spaces, private parties, corporate events, festivals and weddings.
