♦We told you that 'Shakespeare in Love' was very good.

♦The audiences have told us is is very good.

♦And now the experts have gotten in on the act (no pun intended - well maybe a tiny one - we're talking Shakespeare after all.)

And the verdict? They LOVED IT TOO just like everyone else! A couple of quotes:

"This production was seamless from start to finish.
"... every aspect of the production melds together to create a fully immersive experience, the audience could almost forget they were watching theatre ...
"... ingenious set ... lighting and costumes, the carefully crafted musical soundscape ... inspired direction ...."

We could go on but why not have a read and then book your tickets?

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE OPENS TONIGHT!!!

"At its heart, it's the story of a young writer struggling to find inspiration until he meets someone who changes everything. Will and Viola come from different worlds. They know their time together cannot truly last, yet their brief and extraordinary connection inspires one of the greatest love stories ever written."
Director, Shauna-Lee Ward

We are so excited for you to see this - it's a gem of a production!
