Aims and Objectives:

• Run 3 large-scale productions and one 48hr play throughout the year.
• Run a series of smaller projects that our members can get involved with. These include socials, fundraisers and workshops!
• Open to new talent and new ideas, giving you the opportunity to build up your theatrical experience and be creative with Early Modern theatre.

Here at ShakeCo, we have a focus on Shakespeare and his contemporaries - recent productions include Love's Labour's Lost and Measure For Measure!  We look forward to working on so many more exciting shows over the coming year!

We run three major shows each year, using a variety of campus venues and ‘Found Spaces’; where we aim to find a new space off campus to perform in. 

Term 1: This show is rehearsed in a matter of weeks, making it a fantastic way to work collaboratively and intensively with a dedicated team.

Term 2: The largest of our three main shows, the term 2 show has the longest rehearsal period and is often a well-known Shakespeare show with a large cast and budget. We always aim for this show to be off-campus. 

Term 3: Our summer show is a fantastic way to round off the year! Term 3 shows have been, in the past, a diverse range of Shakespeare shows from Love's Labour's Lost to Coriolanus!

We run a 48hr play in Term 2.  '48 hour plays' are rehearsed, produced, and finally performed over a 48hr intensive period.  In the past we have done a wide range of shows such as: As You Like It, Dr Faustus, Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra and King Lear.

To be kept up to date on all of our shows and other exciting activities, follow us on Instagram. We're always looking for ideas and proposals, so if there is something to do with Shakespeare you have always wanted to do, let us know! We are always open to new talent and new ideas, giving you the opportunity to build up your theatrical experience.

If you want to get in contact with us, you can talk to any of our committee members directly, or message via the Facebook or Instagram pages.
