Bard in the Bookstore Presents: Much Ado About Nothing - Gower St

What if you stumbled into your local bookstore and found yourself in Verona, Elsinore, or the storm-swept cliffs of Dover?At Gower Street Waterstones, Shakespeare isn’t just on the shelves—it’s unfolding in the aisles. With only three days of rehearsal, Will & Co will breathe life into the Bard’s work in a whirlwind of energy, passion, and spontaneity. Presented in a promenade style, each 45-minute performance distills the essence of a Shakespeare play into a vivid, accessible experience—where scenes emerge around you, characters pull you into their stories, and the line between audience and stage disappears. This is Shakespeare unplugged: raw, immediate, and alive in the heart of a bookstore.And if you're curious about the magic behind the scenes, you can even book a spot to watch an hour of rehearsal, where the creative process becomes part of the performance. We strip Shakespeare back and present it to you close up—unpredictable, bold, and happening between the bookshelves.Open rehearsals: Saturday and Sunday at 2pm-3pmPerformance: Monday at 7pmCheck out Will&Co on their website - https://www.willandco.co.uk/or find them on Instagram their page: https://www.instagram.com/willshakesandco/
