Shake it Up - The Improvised Shakespeare Show

Dates: 07 Nov 2026 - 07 Nov 2026

Location: Darwen Library Theatre

For many years thespians have correctly interpreted the works of William Shakespeare on the stage. Ranging from sonnets to monologues and adaptations of his most classic novels.

Now, imagine if it was placed in the hands of the audience to create an evening of entertainment that was unwritten, unbeknown for the actors before they graced the stage.

The outcome? Potentially, total chaos but no, this becomes a night of high octane humour for your delectation. ‘Shake it Up  – The Improvised Shakespeare Show’ has been a theatrical hit for the past 8 years and it continues to be a comical twist on classic Shakespearean works.

It will be performed at the Darwen Library Theatre on Friday 6th November 2026 from 7.30pm. Tickets are available to book from the following website link –
