🎭 Shakespeare comes to Milan — for one night only.

Join us at Teatro Out Off, Milan on 18 May for a special double bill celebrating Shakespeare in performance, language, music and movement.

📍 Teatro Out Off
Via Mac Mahon, 16 — Milan
📅 18 May

PART ONE | 6.30 pm
Henry V — a one-man adaptation in English and Italian, performed by Solimano Pontarollo and produced by Casa Shakespeare, Shakespeare’s official home in Verona.

A powerful reflection on leadership, war, responsibility and human fragility, this retelling carries us from the battlefield to the halls of power, asking what happens when dialogue ends and violence begins.

PART TWO | 8.00 pm
Midsummer Madness in Milan
Performed by the participants of English Theatre Milan’s 2025/26 Shakespeare Workshop.

This international cast brings A Midsummer Night’s Dream into contemporary Milan, weaving together Shakespeare’s poetry, reflections on love, dance, music and the magic of the natural world. From jealous lovers and mischievous fairies to the hilarious Mechanics, the performance reminds us that “All the world’s a stage.”

Two Sisters. Shakespeare’s Daughters. 🎭📜👭

This highly acclaimed production portrays the everyday and remarkable story of two young women in Tudor England 🕯️🌿🍞🧺

Ordinary because we see them going about their daily routines—making bread, doing laundry, gathering herbs, and discussing their future husbands. Remarkable because they are Susanna and Judith Shakespeare, and their father is none other than William Shakespeare 👑📜

The play offers a wonderful insight into the family of one of England’s most renowned men. Full of joy, laughter, and sorrow at the loss of Hamnet, their sibling 😂💔, it vividly brings Shakespeare’s daughters to life and gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the family behind the great man. ✨
