Grassroots Shakespeare rep at Lion & Unicorn

Grassroots Shakespeare London presents two William Shakespeare productions in repertoire this Christmas at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre, a fringe venue in Kentish Town, north London from 11 Dec 2012 to 5 Jan 2013

The Tempest. Not all is well at sea. The treacherous King of Naples and Duke of Milan are about to find out just what cost they must pay for meddling with a magician. Young love, mischievous spirits, spells, storms, shipwrecks, goodies and baddies fill the stage

A Midsummer Night's Dream. Love is in the air in Athens but things are definitely not running to plan. Star-crossed lovers are running away, jealous wooers are in hot pursuit, bumbling actors are trying to rehearse and they haven't even come across the domestic war raging in Fairyland! If they thought things were bad, they're about to get messier with magic! If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise!
