The Popular Mechanicals
Location
About
Written by / Tony Taylor, William Shakespeare and Keith Robinson
Directed by / Andrew Ferguson
The popular mechanicals are Shakespeare’s greatest clowns – the endearingly amateur acting ensemble led by Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Here, they take centre-stage in a wild imagining of what goes on in the wings.
The result is a riotously funny mix of Shakespearean verse, songs and dance that is lewd, rude and ingenious. Clowning, vaudeville, slapstick, farce, stand-up comedy and some hilarious puppetry come together to create an unhinged feast of wit and profanity.
Please note: this show may contain some course language and/or rude themes
Opening night special (14/7/23)! A free glass of red wine AND supper with the cast after the show!
First matinee special (16/7/23)! Afternoon tea (tea/coffee and scones) at interval!
