Shakespeare comes to life at 中国P站 Libraries
This October half term, we are thrilled to team up with the award-winning Guildford Shakespeare Company to bring two unforgettable productions right to your doorstep: the gripping tragedy of Macbeth and the heart-wrenching romance of Romeo and Juliet.
Aimed at ages 12+, these dynamic performances are a golden opportunity for GCSE and A-Level students to dive deeper into the plays in a fresh, powerful, and accessible way.
Romeo and Juliet at Woking Library

“These violent delights have violent ends”
Sparring households. Star-crossed lovers. Tragic misadventures. When Romeo Montague meets Juliet Capulet, life as they know it is thrown into chaos. As they navigate battles, banishments, masquerade balls and secret marriages, they are forced to put their relationship to the ultimate test, and discover whether love truly conquers all…
A scorching summer.鈥疶wo ferocious families clash, again.
…from the bloodshed two young people fall in love, but is their fate already written in the stars?
Join the award-winning Guildford Shakespeare Company and Orange Tree Theatre for an urgent retelling of Romeo and Juliet; set in a Verona full of mafia underground dealings and high fashion parties.
Macbeth at Guildford Library
Thursday 30 October at 10.30am.
Guildford Shakespeare Company presents a gripping retelling of Macbeth: a haunting journey through ambition, power, and inevitable downfall.
“What’s done cannot be undone”
On the eve of victory, an heroic general is promised a glorious future by three mysterious apparitions… but real or not, Macbeth’s ruthless ambition, fuelled by his wife’s chilling thirst for power, begins a chain of events that will destroy everyone that stands in their way.
This specially adapted touring production is designed for community spaces like Guildford Library, making world-class theatre more accessible than ever.
