Harnwell House Rathskellar
The Shakespeare Cafe is the Undergroundlings' chance to experiment with plays and ideas which we could not otherwise put on the stage. In the cosy Rathskellar at Harnwell House, we perform scenes from plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, featuring the work different directors from the Company. Our audience enjoys tea with their Shakespeare at this free event, that will surely become ritual.
