Rubbish Shakespeare Company: Romeo & Juliet

WINNER: BEST KIDS SHOW (Leicester Comedy Festival 2026)
Enemies. Balconies. Kissing... SAUSAGE ROLLS!!??
The Rubbish Shakespeare Company presents a tragedy like no other. Three hapless idiots attempt the Bard's most famous love story using nothing but tatty wigs, a frayed floral dress and a burst airbed they found by the bins.
Described as “like Horrible Histories but funnier” (Primary Times), this riotous hour of slapstick and dynamic mischievous storytelling ensures everyone from 5 to 105 can follow every twist, turn and sausage roll.
This isn't boring Shakespeare - it’s bonkers!
A riot for ages 5–105.
