Rubbish Romeo & Juliet
18 Apr 2026
Book TicketsEnemies. Balconies… Sausage Rolls?!?!
Three award-winning fools tackle Shakespeare’s epic love story with nothing but a box of bargain bin wigs, a tatty floral dress, and a burst air mattress they found by the bins…
Described as ‘like Horrible Histories but funnier’ (Primary Times), the ‘delightfully wacky’ Rubbish Shakespeare Company return with an anarchically joyous, family-friendly treat.
Featuring clowning, slapstick and mischievously interactive storytelling, this ‘side-splittingly funny’ (The List) tragedy is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare – or even theatre itself!
Age guidance: for ALL AGES!
Running time: 6o mins
Tickets are Pay What You Decide meaning you pay in person after the performance with cash or card.
