This hour long performance brings four of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays –Romeo and JulietThe Tempest, Macbeth and Twelfth Night – to life for children ages five to seventy-five. Featuring original soundmovement and physical comedy, the performance is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for young audiences.

Shakespeare in Action’s Artistic Director, Michael Kelly, describes the show as “a feast of magic, laughter, music and spectacle.” He says, “Suddenly Shakespeare will knock your kids’ socks off! Shakespeare’s stories are so magical, and the show allows kids, no matter what their age, to really participate with the material in a fun and engaging way.”

Ideal for all ages!
