What is ShakesBEERience?
Shakespeare brought to life in the pub. With a script in one hand and a pint in the other, actors perform some of the greatest stories ever told for you to enjoy with food and drinks.
Unlike reverent and carefully stylised theatrical productions, these ‘script in hand’ performances give Shakespeare’s words and characters a fresh energy. The relaxed atmosphere of the pub makes for a fun, immersive, and perhaps slightly raucous experience.

ShakesBEERience involves one read-through before the event. The performance is ‘script in hand’, so the ability to sight-read with confidence is important. If you are interested but not quite ready to take on the soliloquies, there are plenty of one-line parts to start with!
