A tale of separated siblings, concealed identities, mischievous schemes and vengeful pranks, with more declarations of love than you could find in a Mills and Boon anthology – and most of them going to the wrong person. Our production is set in the summer of 1967 when the scene was swinging and expectations around gender roles and class were being challenged, all of which we think Mr. Shakespeare would approve of, as these are the themes he was writing about. Book here.
