Nothing but Roaring is an improvised Shakespeare comedy! The troupe spontaneously creates a complete narrative, with a hero, villain and comic subplot that ends in a climactic final scene. Taking inspiration from long-form improv and commedia dell'arte, the show mashes up the best of the Bard!
With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.
