About This Event

Get ready for a theatrical treat as The Cockpit in London unveils its Family Shakespeare: Pyramus & Thisbe on Saturday 12 December. This engaging and interactive production promises a delightful experience for all ages, inviting the audience to become collaborators with the charmingly bumbling Rude Mechanicals. Their task? To help these well-meaning but somewhat incompetent players craft their own version of the ill-fated lovers' tale. This playful reimagining breathes new life into the tragic romance famously performed within Shakespeare's own A Midsummer Night's Dream, offering a fresh perspective on the classic story. Performances are scheduled for 12:00, providing a perfect midday diversion. Ticket prices range from £10 to £18, with variations dependent on when you book and whether you are a local resident. It's a wonderful opportunity to introduce younger audiences to Shakespeare in a fun and accessible way.
