“I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, and so following; but I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you.”

A new production of the most performed of Shakespeare's comedies comes to the Town Hall studio courtesy of the Wycombe Swan's resident company: Tight Fit Theatre. After the acclaimed productions of King Lear and Romeo and Juliet, director Mark Oldknow turns his attention to a play that has delighted audiences for over 400 years. It is not hard to see why.

Love, betrayal and revenge - three powerful themes that permeate the fabric of this production; a thrilling combination of theatrical schutzpah and textual clarity. Not to be missed.

Workshops available.

'Talkback’' Free post-show discussion with the Company after the Thu 2.30pm and Fri 7.30pm performances.
