In 2017, Bowler Crab formed a relationship with The Mermaid Inn as a performance venue following the discovery that Shakespeare’s company, the Chamberlain’s Men, visited The Mermaid in 1597.

This is the company’s eighth visit to The Mermaid, booking in advance is advised as their spring shows have previously sold out.

The performance in the Tudors Rooms will start at 2pm, there will be an interval, and end around 4.30 pm. Tickets £14 from www.bowler-crab.com or 07801893115.
