Shakespeare Untold

There are no scheduled instances of Shakespeare Untold. You can view similar events below.

By Harper Ray and Adam Sibbald. Based on the plays of William Shakespeare.

The stories you know from the characters you don’t. This family friendly double bill comes from the world renowned Shakespeare’s Globe.

In Romeo Untold, the story of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet is retold through the eyes of the Capulet Ball's party planner.

Titus Untold retells Shakespeare's goriest tragedy, Titus Andronicus, as seen from the kitchen of Titus’s piemaker.

These shows premièred to great critical and popular acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe. They are now touring internationally. Rediscover two Shakespearean classics together in just two hours including an interval.

WHY? 'Succeeds brilliantly. There is a generally held wisdom that Shakespeare is not for the very young. This completely disproves this idea' ★★★★★ The Times

‘When The Globe set out to make Untold, it had two main aims: to introduce young audiences to Shakespeare, and create good shows in their own right. They've achieved both’ ★★★★★ The Scotsman

'Highly commendable performances which entertain, educate and indeed inspire enthralled audiences' ★★★★★ The Stage

‘Inventive and gag–filled retelling of Shakespeare’s gruesome fairy story’ Francesca Simon (Horrid Henry author) on Titus Untold

‘Bringing a fun twist to Shakespeare. An unforgettable experience for young and old!’ Metro – Critic’s Choice

Presented by Shakespeare's Globe and Seabright Productions.

£15 (£12 conc), Family & Friends (4 people) £48

Migration (U)

Dir: Benjamin Renner 2023 | 91 mins

Take flight into the thrill of the unknown with this funny, feathered family vacation like no other.

The Mallard family is in a bit of rut. While dad Mack is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom Pam is eager to shake things up and show their kids - teen son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen - the whole wide world.

After a migrating duck family alights on their pond with thrilling tales of far-flung places, Pam persuades Mack to embark on a family trip, via New York City, to tropical Jamaica.

As the Mallards make their way South for the winter, their well-laid plans quickly go awry.

£9 | £7 under 16s
