About this show
Shakespeare's Big Brother puts all your favourite Shakespearean characters in the Big Brother House. What will Hamlet say to Romeo? What will Juliet make of Macbeth? Who gets kicked out first? Lots of fun from one of the Fringe's classic theatre companies. At last we can answer the big questions: who is funnier, Richard III or Bottom? Why does Lady Macbeth have spots and will they respond to Clearasil? And better jokes than that!
