Mischief!

Directed by Niall Whitehead and Barbara Ward.

The world of Shakespeare is populated by mischief-makers, rogues and rascals. From knavish sprites to rebels and pranksters, Shakespeare’s characters constantly cause mayhem and madness resulting in unforgettable and timeless theatrical moments.

Drawing from a range of plays, our outstanding company of young actors blend comedy and pathos to create an inspiring theatrical performance, showcasing our unique style of vibrant, physical theatre.

Combining sparkling humour and thrilling drama, this is Shakespeare for modern times
