Shakespeare Undone!

Fri 23 – Sun 25 July • Professional Theatre

Discovered amongst Bath’s forgotten memorabilia, the Natural Theatre Company has ‘unearthed’ an early work of Shakespeare, written when Will was just a young whippersnapper. This unpublished play features early sketches of his most iconic characters, first drafts of famous scenes… and just a little bit of nonsense.

Shakespeare Undone! is an immersive experience that takes you on a theatrical journey around the cobbled streets of Venice* – where the best bits of Shakespeare come to life around you!

The award-winning Natural Theatre Company have been making people laugh around the world for 50 years with their delightfully comic performances.

(*occasionally also referred to as the City of Bath…)

Macbeth

Wed 1 – Sat 4 Sep • 7:30pm • Full £14 Concs £12 • Professional Theatre

By William Shakespeare

Presented by Beyond The Horizon

“Something wicked this way comes…”

William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is brought to life in breath-taking fashion by critically acclaimed Beyond The Horizon.

Fresh from victory in a bloody war, Macbeth is told a series of prophesies, culminating in him being crowned king of Scotland. These prophesies set him down a dark and murderous path, fuelled by treachery, paranoia, and ambition.

Beyond The Horizon’s reputation for visceral, uncompromising theatre melds perfectly with Shakespeare’s psychological masterpiece. Towers are replaced with threadbare scaffolding; swords replaced with rusty pipes; the dead appear before your very eyes. An overpowering adaptation that will have audiences on the edge of their seats.

By Douglas Murdoch

Directed by Lex Kaby

Co-produced by Holly Jefferies

Presented by Greedy Pig Theatre Company

Connor is a nineteen year-old introvert, obsessed with comic books and superheroes. He’s at his happiest when he’s alone with his own thoughts. Except… for the next three days, he’s not. In a world where criminals store their consciousnesses in others to evade capture, Connor now finds himself with an eccentric, charismatic and quite possibly homicidal newcomer in his head, and a fight for control begins.

The Fish Cage is a thrilling, funny and intense look into how a family’s loyalties shift when control starts to slip away. Because when you share a mind with someone, nothing stays hidden for long…

This production contains discussions of sexual abuse and violence.

Robyn Hitchcock

Fri 17 Sep • 8pm • Full £20 • Music

Proudly Presented by RMT Music

Robyn Hitchcock is one of England’s most enduring contemporary singer/songwriters and live performers. A surrealist poet, talented guitarist, cult artist and musician’s musician, Hitchcock is among alternative rock’s father figures and is the closest thing the genre has to a Bob Dylan (not coincidentally his biggest musical inspiration).

Since founding the art-rock band The Soft Boys in 1976, Robyn has recorded more than 20 albums as well as starred in ‘Storefront Hitchcock’, an in-concert film recorded in New York and directed by Jonathan Demme.

Blending folk and psychedelia with a wry British nihilism, Robyn describes his songs as “paintings you can listen to”. His most recent album is self-titled and marks his 21st release as a solo artist. Out on April 21st 2017, the album is produced by Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs). Hitchcock describes it as an “ecstatic work of negativity with nary a dreary groove.” It has received rave reviews from UNCUT, Rolling Stone, Paste, Tidal and more.

“A gifted melodist, Hitchcock nests engaging lyrics in some of the most bracing, rainbow-hued pop this side of Revolver. He wrests inspiration not from ordinary life but from extraordinary imaginings…” – Rolling Stone


“These 10 gems slither, rock, roll, glide and shapeshift, coalescing around Hitchcock’s typically anxious, strained but striking and immediately identifiable vocals.” – American Songwriter
