Step back in time and experience Shakespeare as it was in his day!
Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre
comes to the heart of historic York, beside Clifford’s Tower, in summer 2018 – the 13-sided pop-up Elizabethan theatre offers three tiers of covered seating and an open courtyard for standing ‘groundlings’. Four of William Shakespeare’s greatest plays will be performed. The West End’s renowned Lindsay Posner will direct Romeo and Juliet and Richard III while York Theatre Royal’s Olivier Award-winning Artistic Director Damian Cruden, and Associate Director Juliet Forster, will be putting their stamp on Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre promises a thrilling and intimate theatrical experience with plenty of breath-taking, spine-tingling, heart-stopping moments!
Shakespeare’s Village
Outside Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre will be Shakespeare’s Village, with ‘wagon’ entertainment, jesters and minstrels, the best Yorkshire food and drinks and an Elizabethan garden. Access to Shakespeare’s Village is free of charge.
