We're moving indoors for the rest of the weekend - 53two have come to our rescue because they are the epitome of what the Manchester independent theatre scene is about. We can't thank them enough for their support and generosity.

There are still tickets available for the shows so if you'd like to join us go to www.TheGOATMcr.co.uk/shakespeare-festival.

For ticket holders: either head to 53Two prior to the show times below OR head to the amphitheatre and one of our team will show you the way. It's roughly a 3 minute walk but please give plenty of time. They've got a great bar so get there early to make the most of this great venue.

Any issues, email [email protected] and we'll do our best to help.

We're hoping to be back outdoors next week, weather permitting. Keep an eye on our socials for details.

New show announcement!

Very excited to announce Impromptu Shakespeare will be joining us on Sunday 1st August for two performances at Great Northern Warehouse's Amphitheatre.

Sad that Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for over 400 years?

Well, hold onto your doublets, ruffs and trunk hose. The Bard is back! With story and verse improvised in the moment, enjoy a riotous new Shakespeare play every time – performed by Impromptu Shakespeare’s whip smart cast.

Packed with priceless wit, lyrical smarts, romance, and a dash of double-crossing, this leading ensemble do the Bard proud with a brand new one-act hit every time, inspired by audience suggestions.

Impromptu Shakespeare have been a smash hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, Bristol Shakespeare Festival, and appeared on BBC Shakespeare Live.
