Directed by Toby Gordon, this production will mark the 10th anniversary of Shakespeare in the Squares.The company’s first show was in 2016 with Much Ado About Nothing, set at the end of the First World War.

The tour opens on 3rd June at Leinster Square, W2 and runs until the 12th July at Fortune Green, NW6.
Talking about the production, Toby Gordon says, “New rules are in place in the Kingdom of Navarre. Young King Ferdinand persuades his companions to join him in an oath of abstinence and study. The terms of the oath are clear: no woman shall come within a mile of the court. Any man seen talking with a woman shall endure such public shame as the rest of the court can possibly devise. The conviction of the men of Navarre is soon put to the test when the Princess of France and her companions arrive on urgent diplomatic business. How can the men possibly navigate this visit without breaking their oath?
Bring your picnic and wine, your sunglasses and your participatory spirit, and join Shakespeare in the Squares for a summer cocktail of poetic pageantry and light-hearted lunacy, featuring rock and pop classics from the 1960s and ’70s.
Come and join us in Navarre for a sparkling night of flirtation and foolishness as we celebrate our 10th anniversary in summer 2026.”
