This is a private bespoke event for our friends in the USA.

Shakespeare doesn’t write about mothers and sons very often, but when he does…blimey! Come and treat yourself to this late Shakespearean tale of the early days of the Roman Republic. It’s a corker.

We will read this staggeringly atmospheric play in one of the most atmospheric places in England - Berdoulat in Bath. All topped off with the David Tennant production in London. It doesn’t get better than that!

This totally sold out production is the perfect way to experience this play, having spent five weeks getting to know it. A bit life changing.

Medieval royalty comes to your home (though perhaps not the most trustworthy houseguest!). The perfect way to spice up the start of your summer.

Oooooh, he’s a devil. But he’s SO compelling. Come and be seduced by one of history’s most controversial figures.

Hello sailor! Having spent a blissful 5 weeks reading this funny and poignant romantic comedy, we will immerse ourselves in the outdoor gorgeousness of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Think cross dressing antics, mistaken identities, long lost siblings and love love love.

Honestly, it would be worth going to see Ian McKellen watching paint dry. But in fact he is playing one of Shakespeare’s most beloved mischievous and outrageous comic creations: Falstaff. Funny, profound and heart wrenching, the Henry IV plays are a total delight. Come and be delighted.

Of all the places to watch Othello, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is perhaps the best in the world. Think impossibly atmospheric and intimate candle lit splendour.

A candle lit Othello? The perfect way to appreciate the light and dark of this brutal, yet delicate play. Tingles down the spine sort of stuff.

There’s nothing like reading life changing poetic drama around a warm fire to make you grateful you’re not stuck on a heath in a storm with no clothes on! This is the sort of play that makes the ground shake beneath your feet. Come and get into it.

It honestly doesn’t really get much more exciting than this. A magic potion of one of Shakespeare’s most exciting tragedies, directed by a titan in the theatre world and starring one of the most famous and talented actors on the planet. Yes purleeeease.

Now this one is a belter. Controversial? Oh certainly. Complex? Deeply. Funny? Very. Heartbreaking? Like you wouldn’t believe. Over the years The Merchant of Venice has been banned from teaching systems, performed by Nazis and translated into Yiddish. It has been embraced, rejected, used as a weapon and as a balm. Come and find out what you think.

Hold onto your hats, because this one’s a biggie! One of Britain’s most experienced Shakespearean actors ever plays one of Shakespeare’s mightiest tragic heroes in the West End. This play is a change-the-way-you-think-about-the-world kind of play. A play that is transcendent and yet tender, a play that both roars and whispers, a play that takes you by the scruff of the neck and makes you feel the enormity of being alive. Come and find out what all the fuss is about.

One of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. As You Like It whisks you off into the Forest of Arden for some tomfoolery and japes, but also, as ever, some musings on the human condition. Shakespeare takes his comedy very seriously. Come and see what we mean.

Whether or not you have ever read this play, you no doubt know some of the lines; "A pair of star crossed lovers”, “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” and will probably have some sort of balcony and Leonardo DiCaprio floating around your head. This is one of those plays that’s so famous it’s easy to miss quite how good and quite how radical it is. Come and challenge what you think you know about this spectacular tragedy.

Iiiiit’s a classic! You probably performed in it at school, you know the story and the characters; lovers get mixed up, drugs, a goddess falls in love with an ass, sure, but do you really know what lies behind the laughter and mayhem? This magical play is endlessly underestimated. Come and peel back the layers and fully experience the depth of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You’ll thank yourself.

FWS is going adventuring! It’s only right and fitting for this Romance that nimbly crosses oceans and time. Come and be swept away by ancient kings, wicked step mothers, poison, not-poison, ill-advised wagers and some classic cross dressing from the comfort of Claire’s Islington home. Then we strike out to Shakey’s home town of Stratford Upon Avon to watch the RSC do what it does best.

Don’t know Cymbeline? You’re not the only one! This late play is not often studied and, relative to some of his blockbusters, is a rarely performed Shakespeare play. Come and be one the the clever few to appreciate its charms. Think ancient kings, wicked step mothers, poison, not-poison, adventure, rescue, long lost siblings and romance…it’s a goodie!
