About This Event

The Cockpit in London is hosting a delightful afternoon of theatre with Family Shakespeare: Pyramus & Thisbe on Saturday 21 November, commencing at 2pm. This is no ordinary performance; it's a wonderfully interactive experience designed to bring William Shakespeare's tale to life for all the family. Audiences will be invited to step into the world of the Rude Mechanicals, those well-meaning but somewhat bumbling characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and help them piece together their forgotten play, Pyramus and Thisbe. It offers a fantastic opportunity for families to engage with one of Shakespeare's most charming and tragic love stories in a fun and accessible way. The emphasis is on participation and shared enjoyment, making it an ideal outing for younger theatregoers and their grown-ups alike. To ensure everyone can enjoy this theatrical treat, tickets are available on a Pay What You Can basis. Furthermore, a special discounted rate is being offered to residents of Westminster, recognising their local connection to this vibrant arts venue.

The event features an interactive theatre experience where the audience is invited to help the Rude Mechanicals piece together their forgotten play, Pyramus and Thisbe. This is achieved by combining Shakespeare's original text with fresh ideas from the audience, incorporating various elements such as music, props, puppets, rhymes, sound effects, and dance moves.

The performance is based on William Shakespeare's tragic love story, Pyramus and Thisbe, which was originally part of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The Rude Mechanicals, those well-meaning but somewhat bumbling characters, are tasked with performing the play at the Duke's wedding, but they've forgotten to write it. The audience's participation is crucial in helping to create a completely original version of the play.

The event takes place at The Cockpit in London on Saturday 21 November at 2pm. Tickets are available on a Pay What You Can basis, with prices ranging from £13 to £18, and Westminster locals can attend for £10, which includes booking fees.
