Quotes:
'The Incomplete Works of Shakespeare is a brilliant, bold, and very funny evening’s entertainment. It may be aimed at a family audience – but trust me, you don’t need a child to enjoy this!' ★★★★★ - The Reviews Hub 'A cavalcade of characters, chaos and clown... I highly recommend that you catch this show if you can. It is different to the normal improv work on offer, and this makes a refreshing change. It blends live music, clown, magic realism, physical theatre and storytelling into a delicious mix… Improvised theatre at its very best' ★★★★★ - At the Theatre 'A non-stop turmoil of myth, laughter and tomfoolery that had the audience ‘in stiches’ laughing' ★★★★ - North West End |

Both companies are looking forward to celebrating the 400th anniversary of the publication of the first folio in April 2023.
The year is 1603 - King James has just taken the throne. He isn’t a fan of theatre, especially the works and words of the upstart crow, William Shakespeare.
William has one last chance to prove his worth to the King. Unfortunately, he is 'unwell’ and cannot complete the script in time, so it’s up to his merry players (actors) to finish it for him. Drawing upon the skills and suggestions from the groundlings (audience), this makeshift troupe will finish the play one way or another. Or it’s off with their heads.
Utilising clown, physical comedy, storytelling and live music, this interactive, participatory, family-friendly event is a completely improvised Shakespeare play, suitable for all ages, even those new to the bard (or even theatre).
