Improv, Comedy

Rattlepole! An Improv Shakespeare Show

Rattlepole! is a completely improvised Shakespearean comedy in which a ten-strong cast creates a brand-new play every night from audience suggestions. Inspired by the Bard’s language, themes and characters, the show blends storytelling with fast, playful comedy and direct audience interaction. A live pianist improvises the score and occasionally bursts into song, while a mischievous drinking element, directed by the audience, heightens the chaos. After sold-out London runs and a hit Edinburgh Fringe debut, Rattlepole! returns this summer. Expect romance, tragedy, mischief and constant surprises in a joyfully unpredictable theatrical experience for all audiences everywhere.
