About the show
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them!"Get in a fight. Cross-dress. Throw on some yellow stockings. Love can make you do the funniest things…! The critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company present their own brand of Shakespearean mayhem in the Bard's comedy of fools, duels and dual identities. Family-friendly fun with live music and audience participation.
Featuring - The Pantaloons
The Pantaloons are a young and dynamic theatre company comprising graduates of Kent University. They aim to recapture an aspect of drama which modern naturalistic theatre has lost: the riotous energy of the clown.
Tapping into this rich vein of anarchic humour can have a strangely moving and uplifting effect and it also reminds us that we are all simply participants in a game of make-believe.
Their productions are entertaining, accessible and intelligent productions of classical texts for audiences, whatever their level of familiarity with such works.
'Part alternative rock band, part thespian, part performance art, the result is wholly charming' (The Times).
