The Shakespeare Marathon

Celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, we are performing all of The Great Bard's works back-to-back for 24 hours a day for the full 5 days. Performing through the night we will not rest until every Comedy, Tragedy, History, Sonnet and Poem is delivered. Although there is no price of entry, we will be taking donations throughout our performance with donations going towards the Alzheimer's Society Charity. So, be it morning, evening, noon or night, feel free to join us as much or as little as you want, in a celebration of arguably the greatest English writer who ever lived.

Our Shakespeare Marathon raised £1036.18 for Alzheimer's Society! Along with individuals fundraising we raised an estimate of £2596.18 for various charities!
