About the show
Dungeons and Shakespeare is an audience-interactive theatre and comedy show by The Best Medicine Productions. It brings together the greatest characters from Shakespeare and pits them against horrific monsters from Dungeons and Dragons. Inspired by the Bard and determined by dice, the show is brought to life on stage in an epic adventure that is different every time, as the audience chooses the path and the roll of giant dice decides if the heroes live or die. The show runs for 60 minutes at Other Yin, is suitable for ages 8 and above, and tickets are priced at £10.
Why see this show?
A show that is genuinely different at every performance — because the audience and dice decide. Dungeons and Shakespeare is a wonderfully absurd collision of theatre traditions that works for families and anyone who loves a bit of chaos with their Bard.
