Details

Whether it's a Shakespeare collaboration or not this rollicking romantic comedy plucked from the Shakespeare Apocrypha should brighten up anyone's winter blues. With a host of colourful characters, a riot of mistaken identity and all the joys and perils of young love, this delightful romp through high and low society, town and country, England and Denmark, culminates in a finale every bit as pleasing and problematic as anything in the acknowledged Shakespeare canon. World Premiere. Performance length: Approx. 2.5hrs including one interval
