"It's Shakespeare, but it's secret"

Can a group of strangers successfully stage a Shakespearean play in a day?

Shakespeare's Speakeasy is the place for you to find out.

Taking an irreverent and entertaining view of the Bard's work, this one night only production promises you an hilarious take on one of Bill's best known plays. Five actors are given a script with their lines and cues and must learn it over the course of a month without ever meeting each other! On the day of performance the actors meet for the first time and rehearse for six hours before staging a 100% not all serious play from the canon.

But which play will it be? Well, like all good Speakeasys, that's a secret.

The only way to find out is to come inside.
