Rattlepole!


Join the company of Rattlepole! to see Shakespeare like never before: completely improvised and accompanied by live music. You choose tropes and we take it to the iambic plane and sculpt an original plot! But watch out for some drunk actors trying to steal the show... while quotes and tropes fly around the space, they’ll be drinking ready to come onstage raucous and clumsy. From dramatic swordfights and passionate love scenes to quick-witted wordplay and songs, Rattlepole! brings everything you know and love about Shakespeare together into a show that you’ve never seen before and never will again.
