Event information

Join 440 Theatre in the open air on The Castle Lawn.

Macbeth in 40 minutes? Romeo & Juliet in 40 minutes? Both shows performed OUTDOORS by only 4 actors in one evening!

Two of Shakespeare’s Greatest Tragedies transformed into outrageous, fall-on-the-floor comedies. Not to be missed! You might have seen Shakespeare before but never like this! Four Forty have been delighting audiences up and down the country with their fast paced, in your face, hysterically funny productions. Offering an alternative take on some of the worlds most famous plays, their inimitable style and charisma has set them apart as one of the most hungry and playfully ambitious travelling troupes around!

The performance will take place on The Castle Lawn.
