About Us

Aims and Objectives:

 

  • Run 48hr plays each term, and larger productions throughout the year.
  • Run a series of smaller projects that our members can get involved with. These include socials and open mic nights!
  • Open to new talent and new ideas, giving you the opportunity to build up your theatrical experience.

 

Here at ShakeCo, we have a focus on Shakespeare and his contemporaries - recent productions include As You Like It and The Two Gentlemen of Verona! Look out for our production of King John taking place on 1st-3rd Feb 2024!

We run three major shows each year:

Term 1: The smallest of the three, this slot will either be on campus or in a ‘Found Space’ venue. With the show being rehearsed in a manner of weeks, this is a fantastic way to get introduced to ShakeCo!

Term 2 ‘Spectacle’: The largest of our three main shows, this production is often a big name Shakespeare show with a large cast and budget.

Term 3: Our summer show is a fantastic way to round off the year! A similar scale to our Term 1 show!

We run a 48hr play in each term, and larger productions throughout the year. '48 hour plays' are rehearsed, produced, and finally performed over a 48hr intensive period. 

We also have a series of smaller projects that our members can get involved with. These include film screenings, workshops, socials and our brand new initiative ‘Open Mic Shakespeare Night’! come along and share your favourite speeches, test out some original writing, or just sit back and enjoy the performances.

To keep updated on these and other exciting activities, follow us on instagram. We're always looking for ideas and proposals, so if there is something Shakespearian 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 go to any of our committee directly, or via the Facebook page. Amelie x
