ShakeItUp
★★★★★ “Quick-witted, inexhaustible and absolutely hysterical” – London Theatre Reviews
★★★★★ “Brilliantly bonkers…one of the best improvised shows out there” – West End Best Friend
★★★★★ “masters of improv…brilliant fun for all” – Theatre Scotland
Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so we thought we would give him a hand…Using his language, your audience suggestions, and our overactive imaginations, ShakeItUp create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage.
Pick your authentic Shakespearean genre: Epic History, Romantic Comedy, or Gruesome Tragedy! Pen your wittiest Shakespearean line for our brave actors to pull from their suitably Shakespearean breeches when they need a helping hand – the twist? They’ll have no idea what the line will be before they say it!
Then sit back and watch the hilarity unfold in a totally bonkers play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of. Expect big laughs, high drama, and plenty of Bard-based Bedlam!
ShakeItUp Theatre launched The Improvised Shakespeare Show in 2018. Since then, they have performed across the UK, from the Minack Theatre in Cornwall to the Edinburgh Fringe; even performing internationally in Italy, Poland, and Germany.
