About the Event
Enemies. Balconies. Kissing... sausage rolls!?
Three idiots perform Shakespeare's classic tragedy, using only a box of pound-shop props, a tattered floral dress and a punctured old airbed they found by the bins. Described as 'like Horrible Histories but funnier' (Primary Times), Rubbish Shakespeare Company revive their accessible, interactive and joyously anarchic version of Romeo and Juliet for LTF, in the run up to this year’s outing at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023! Featuring clowning, slapstick, and clever, mischievous storytelling, this laugh-out-loud, family-friendly show is a fantastic introduction to Shakespeare (or even theatre itself).
Perfect for ages 5-105!
