New Mutiny Theatre Company in development:
Romeo & Juliet In August 2013, New Mutiny stormed Edinburgh Fringe with this explosive one hour production. The Times called it a “fizzling adaptation... Shakespeare for the OMG generation? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, when it is as good as this,” With a beautiful original score composed by the cast, and a unique framing to this classic tale, this is a truly magical introduction to Shakespeare for children, schools, and families. This Summer at The Old Market, the company will develop the show further, ahead of an Autumn run.

TOM’s Bar A PLACE TO ENJOY, TO DISCUSS AND TO TAKE IN THE ATMOSPHERE EACH EVENT BRINGS... TOM’s Bar is an important part of The Old Market, and we don’t like to think of it as ‘a run-of-the-mill, pricey theatre bar’. As such, our prices equal or better those of other local bars, our service is always personal, and unlike most, we promise to stay open after your show. We’re proud to serve a great range of high quality refreshments. Welcoming staff serve a range of wines, draft beers, spirits, ciders and snacks. TOM’s Bar also provides an intimate setting for smaller events, and for show previews too exclusive for the Main House next door. We look forward to seeing you at TOM’s Bar soon!
