Rubbish Improvised Shakespeare The incomplete works

Rubbish Improvised Shakespeare:
The Incomplete Works

Co-produced by The Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Wing It - Impro

'The Incomplete Works of Shakespeare is a brilliant, bold, and a very funny evening’s entertainment. It may be aimed at a family audience – but trust me, you don’t need a child to enjoy this!'
★★★★★ - The Reviews Hub

‘Like Horrible Histories with a dash of the Young Ones anarchy’
★★★★★ -At The Theatre

The year is 1603 - King James has just taken the throne. He isn’t a fan of theatre, especially the works and words of the upstart crow, William Shakespeare.

Will has one last chance to prove his worth to the King. Unfortunately, he is 'unwell’ and cannot complete the script in time, so it’s up to his merry players (actors). Drawing upon the skills and suggestions from the groundlings (audience), this makeshift troupe will finish the play one way or another. Or it’s off with their heads.

Utilising clown, physical comedy, storytelling and live music, this interactive, participatory, family-friendly event is a completely improvised Shakespeare play, suitable for all ages, even those new to the bard (or even theatre).

'A non-stop turmoil of myth, laughter and tomfoolery that had the audience ‘in stiches’ laughing'
★★★★ - North West End

'A cavalcade of characters, chaos and clown... I highly recommend that you catch this show if you can. It is different to the normal improv work on offer, and this makes a refreshing change. It blends live music, clown, magic realism, physical theatre and storytelling into a delicious mix.'
★★★★★ - At the Theatre
