Double Bill - The Mechanical / Bard's Tale

The Mechanical

Tom Snout, fresh from his triumph as 'A Wall' in Pyramus and Thisbe, finds himself alone on stage without his fellow Mechanicals and not a script in sight.
Still determined to entertain the audience with an action-packed theatrical dramatical, Tom will have to rely on audience suggestions and his own can-do attitude to make sure the show does indeed go on.
A fast paced, character laden whirlwind of improvised theatre that will leave you breathless.
Our fully licensed bar opens one hour before the show begins so come and have a drink before the show.

A Bard's Tale

Prepare to be transported back to ye olde times with A Bard’s Tale—the improvised Shakespearean adventure where wit meets whimsy!

In this delightful romp through Elizabethan intrigue, our cast of improvisers brings to life a brand-new tale inspired by the Bard himself. With flowery language, outrageous characters, and plot twists that would make even Shakespeare do a double-take, no two performances are the same. Whether it's mistaken identities, star-crossed lovers, or some good old-fashioned swordplay, you’re in for a night of clever wordplay and hilarious mischief.

Get ready to laugh, gasp, and maybe even shout “Huzzah!” as A Bard’s Tale proves that all the world’s a stage—and it’s full of surprises.

No audience member is brought up on stage, so you can relax and enjoy the show from the comfort of your seat.
