Second Thoughts Drama Group present Shakespeare on Love, at the Bear Pit Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, from 11-14 February 2026.

Preview

From A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s plays are filled with love, lust and longing.

The bickering Beatrice and Benedict, the star-crossed Romeo and Juliet, the controversial Kate and Petruchio: Shakespeare explores love in all its many forms, some idealistic, and some less so.

Celebrate St. Valentine’s Day with us as we take a look at some of the very best lovers in Shakespeare’s work, as well as the modern musicals that have been inspired by them, to see exactly what the Bard has to say about the very strongest of human emotions.

Performances: Evenings: 7.30 pm, Saturday matinee at 2.30 pm
