This Christmas C theatre and The Pleasance join forces to bring a special festive edition of the Fringe’s favourite devised Shakespeare show to London.
‘A raucous, panto-style Romeo & Juliet
- highly enjoyable’ Guardian
When the star- crossed lovers two warring bakery dynasties fall in love at the Annual Mince Pie Ball, it sets in motion a chain of calamitous events, bad singing and corny jokes to rival the worst Christmas cracker.
‘This is the Bard jazzed up, broken down, shot through with contemporary references and given a happy ending’ Scotsman
It’s Yuletide shenanigans all round as the Montague and Coplulates get down to some serious festive fun, with pantomine Dame Nursey, the ubiquitous ghost scene, giant mince pies, a wedding - and, unlike Shakespeare’s play, they all get to live happily ever after.
‘All very silly, infectiously enjoyable, performed with verve and polish’ London Theatre Guide
Direct from its sell-out Edinburgh run, with a few seasonal changes, this is the Christmas version of C theatre’s acclaimed sell-out Edinburgh Fringe fixture Shakespeare for Breakfast.
Inspired by, but not wholly loyal to Shakespeare’s unforgettable tale
With free mulled wine and mince pies, and ticket prices that won’t break the bank, SHAKESPEARE FOR CHRSTMAS is festive fun for the whole family.
