Artistic Director Stephen John said they will be “exploring the theme of love in Shakespeare’s writing and performing extracts from The Winter’s Tale, Julius Caesar, Richard III, Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Othello, Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night, and Antony & Cleopatra.”

Stephen has already produced and directed 12 full Shakespearean plays over the past six years and is currently touring with five other pocket productions. He commented: “This exciting new production captures the audience with impossible love triangles, flirtatious banter and passionate star-crossed lovers.”
