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, we create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage. Complete with live music, songs, and plenty of laughs!
FIVE STARS – “Quick witted, inexhaustible and absolutely hysterical.”
London Theatre Reviews
FOUR STARS – “Laugh out-loud hilarious […] a great night out”
Broadway World
At a ShakeItUp show, you get to help our intrepid improvisors make up an entirely new Shakespeare play on the spot! Pick your authentic Shakespearean genre: Epic History, Romantic Comedy, or Gruesome Tragedy. Choose the location of where we will lay our scene, our hero’s name, and even their day-job! 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 as we improvise a totally authentic (and totally bonkers) play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of! Accompanied by improvised song and music from our talented (and flexible) ShakeItUp Band, expect big laughs, high drama, and a healthy dose of rhyming couplets.
