Last chance to see "The Taming of the Shrew" at Theatre Royal, Winchester!
Following its sell-out run at this year's festival, our hilarious modern adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew will play for one night only at Winchester’s beautiful Theatre Royal on Wednesday 29th August at 7.30 pm.
Set in ‘The Shrew’s Tavern’, a pub locked in the 1980s, somewhere to the North of Watford, family and friends gather to celebrate the marriage of Megan to Ben with a surprise performance of the bride’s favourite play. When half the cast is stranded on the M62, plans are plunged into chaos…. and the mother of the bride finds herself performing a leading role. Modern day misunderstandings and misinterpretations are mirrored within the full- pelt anarchy of Shakespeare’s comedy – performed as never before!
Come and see the impressive professional cast, which includes Joy Brook, Chris Hollis and Paddy Navin, show off their comedic skills in this unmissable production – and all before last orders are called!
Tickets are on sale via Theatre Royal Winchester website.

Henry V
‘And let us... on your imaginary forces work.’
Let us take you on a cinematic, exhilarating ride as captains and kings, heroes and cowards, lords, ladies and low-lifes switch between palaces, camps and battlefields.
A few of Shakespeare’s audience must have been old enough to remember the fumbling loss of Calais in 1558, the last fragment of England’s French empire, and as we now “Cry – God for Harry, England and Saint George!” what can the play tell us today?
If you liked The Tempest make sure you join us at Agincourt!
