"Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t!”

Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company as they put on a frantic disposition to tackle Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy in their own anarchic style.

When he discovers that his uncle has murdered his father, married his mother and traitorously taken the crown of Denmark there’s only one course of action for Hamlet: feign madness, frequently monologue and take swift revenge. But outrageous fortune has other plans for the poor Prince of Denmark...

With live music, audience interaction, brevity-boosting abridgements, comic turns and tragic twists there’s only one question: To be there, or to be square?

“If Shakespeare chose a modern company to perform his work then it would undoubtedly be The Pantaloons.” (North West End)

The award-winning Common Ground Theatre return to the hall to present their latest original production: Tales our Mother Told.  

At their mother's wake, two brothers start to piece together a sense of who she was from the stories she told them as children, and as adults. Some were hilarious, some terrifying and some downright baffling. Did they help the brothers in their life path, or did they make the forest darker and the way less clear? Was their mother to be found in her yarns, like the old woman spinning in her gingerbread cottage, or were they a smokescreen, an enchanted mist that took you to strange realms and left you thrilled but faintly bewildered.

Common Ground are committed to keeping small-scale theatre alive and well in East Anglia,  presenting shows that are, first and foremost, entertaining. Featuring live music, performed by our company of skilled actor-musicians, our productions are theatrically inventive, character-based and always emotionally engaging.
