CLASSICS UNCHAINED 26

Shakespeare on Steroids

Not for people like us.

Classics Unchained stages the greatest plays ever written with working-class actors, our own accents, and daring concepts that reimagine these plays on our doorstep. For over fifteen years we have produced award-winning Shakespeare, supporting local actors into drama school and paid work.

More than just a show.

We co-produce with an ensemble of working-class local creatives, who join our Advisory Board. With support for showreels, headshots and a programme of workshops, this is not just a performance opportunity but a chance to stretch your skills and to grow. Shows tour around the NW and to Dublin, providing an unparalleled performance experience for emerging talent.

Get Involved.

We audition for Classics Unchained once a year through open calls but also through directly seeking out new talent through a range of schemes. If you want to register your interest for our next production, send us an email.
