Kemp's Jig

A 'horrible histories' for all ages, Kemp's Jig is a romp through Elizabethan England as told through the eyes of Shakespeare's forgotten clown as he Morris dances the 125 miles from London to Norwich in a bizarre publicity stunt.

This skip through the streets of Elizabethan England includes some Shakespeare quotes, some Morris Dancing and a stuffed dog; And it wouldn't be a decent day out without a hanging for good measure, would it?! Join us for the show that led the way for "Shakespeare in Love" and "Upstart Crow"!
