Celebrating the most comical characters Shakespeare ever invented. Follow “The Mechanicals,” from A Midsummer Night’s Dream on a whirlwind adventure where "pantaloons meet Python," in Peter Quince Presents: SHAKESPEARE'S BEST BITS
It's a romp, that’s bound to have you in stitches as Shakespeare's artisans of laughter - Peter Quince, Snug, Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Tom Snout and Robin Starveling lead you through a slick and silly series of blunders and nonsense. Vying to perform at the Duke's wedding, they look to a bloke called Bill’s collected works for inspiration. These fools will have you rolling in the grass with laughter as you watch them workshop some of the Bard's most famous material.
If you loved A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this is the perfect show for you this summer! It’s Shakespeare unshackled, unplugged and loads of fun for the thespian or tradie in all of us!
Performance Dates are from the 20th of December 2025, until the 17th of January 2026
