Compose your own Shakespearian insults! OOOOOOOOOHHH

Community Vibe presents an interactive, educational and fun performance & follow-on workshop for all the family to watch and learn from! Come and create your own fun insults inspired by the words of the Bard.

'Thou art a……. bawdy bunch-backed canker-blossom!’

Thou art a ……. fitful evil-eyed clotpole!

Thou art a …… roynish ill-breeding malt-worm!

William Shakespeare often wrote about people who didn’t like each other. This gave him a good excuse to think of lots of creative insults. Our workshop will enable you to learn about insults inspired by the most renowned and greatest playwright of all time.

Rachel Green from Community Vibe has been working as a theatre director/actor and teacher for over 25 years. She has won many awards for providing numerous fun and educational community engagements projects in the West Midlands.

'Like the Toad; Ugly and venomous’ (As You Like It)

'A freckled whelp hag- born- not honour’d with a human shape’ (As You Like It)

'He has not so much brain as ear-wax’ (Trolius and Cressida)

*Free for all. Suitable for families and ages 7 years upwards.

This event is part of Little but LIVE! 2022, an outdoor arts festival run by Paperback Theatre in Moseley Park. Taking place from 16th- 18th September, the programme includes stand-up comedy, live music, poetry, creative workshops and more. All tickets are capped at £5, with many free events as well. You can explore the rest of the programme at paperbacktheatre.com.

Paperback are passionate about allowing as many people as possible to come to Little but LIVE! We work hard to keep ticket prices low and give as many away for free as we can. This year the festival is supported by Arts Council England, but we are still reliant on donations for our funding, so please consider making a donation on top of the cost of your ticket. No amount is too small and all donations go towards helping us bring the festival back next year and providing as many free tickets as possible to those who might not otherwise be able to attend. If you don't wish to make a donation, simply set the donation amount to £0 when you book.
