​

In Fifty Shades of Shakespeare, four actors learn all the roles in 12 of Shakespeare's sexiest / most romantic scenes. The audience chooses at random who plays each role each night. The format of the show allows us to explore sexuality in a healthy way and open up conversation about gender. This show is especially fun because, being in a bar, it draws audiences that are not usual theatre goers. It is a joy to watch audiences have fun with Shakespeare. While everyone is having a blast, they are also getting great messages about breaking down gender roles.
