Twelfth Night, Julius Caesar, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Macbeth, and The Tempest... in a way you've never seen them before. Away from the rest of their plays, Malvolio, Cinna, Peaseblossom, Banquo, and Caliban tell their tales, each in a solo-show written for younger audiences, by acclaimed playwright Tim Crouch.
