Escape to the hilariously tragic world of Madame Bovary — where love, mischief, and mishaps collide in a wild night of Victorian rebellion!
Four actors must battle hilarious mishaps and misbehaving props to tell the (massively) tragic story of Madame Bovary.
Emma Bovary dreamed of love and adventure, but instead, she got… Charles. Determined not to let a dull marriage stand in her way, she throws herself into a whirlwind of forbidden desires, extravagant parties, and a string of questionable decisions.
Laugh and cry in equal measure as Emma chooses the wrong husband. It’s time for Flaubert’s complex novel to be given a refreshing shake up in this slapstick comedy drama!
Standard tickets £20 | Concession and Access tickets £16
