Shakespeare's Shorts - throught the year
Think again if you think you don't have time for Shakespeare.
Back again in 2008, the ever-popular Shakespeare's Shorts continues to perform for events and festivals through the year.

Shakespeare's Shorts are fast and funny half hour versions of the
original scripts, delivered with QSE's trademark clarity and
accessibility, and featuring trained, experienced actors. Each of the
Shorts also features gentle audience participation to get
you into the action.
The Half-Hour Hamlet takes out all the procrastination - the tragedy is performed in 20 minutes, then, in 7 minutes, and again, in just 3.
Instant Romeo & Juliet turns the tragedy of the star-crossed lovers into a high-paced comedy with plenty of wooden-sword-buckling.
Big family or outing? Consider a group booking! To book, send an email
