THE WINTER'S TALE
"Rainbow Shakespeare's production of one of the Bard's later plays is imaginative, well-rounded and features a cast of high quality." ARGUS
"Directed by the charismatic Nicolas Young, the company chose to bring out all the comedy and romance rather than focus too much on the darker side. That said, Ross Muir gave a fine performance as the raging King Leontes,racked with jealousy and shame." Worthing Herald
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
"Rainbow Shakespeare's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream maintained the company's immaculate reputation for accessible, vibrant, creative theatre." HERALD

Rainbow Shakespeare is an undisputed highlight of the Worthing Arts Festival. 2003 saw Twelfth Night and The Merry Wives of Windsor, performed in a no-nonsense style. Rainbow's open air Shakespeare, a highlight of the Worthing arts calendar, was founded with a run of Twelfth Night on the beach in 1998. Despite gale force winds and a tide that threatened to sweep away performers and audience alike, the enthusiasm for the way Shakespeare was being performed, meant that the Company was continue a tradition that has lasted ever since. However, they were invited by Worthing Borough Council to perform in the magical Highdown Gardens,which has become the home to their productions ever since, and where audience have been steadily growing year after year.
