SUMMARY:Merlin Youth Theatre: an Evening of Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:The evening begins with a bold\, abridged production of Macbeth\, reimagined in 1920s Small Heath\, Birmingham. In a world of razor gangs\, smoky backrooms\, and shifting loyalties\, ambition and prophecy collide as rival gang members vie for power. When a trusted lieutenant hears a prediction that he will become the next leader\, a dangerous chain of events is set in motion. As loyalty crumbles and paranoia grows\, the cost of ruthless ambition becomes impossible to escape. \nThis contemporary interpretation brings Shakespeare’s tragedy into the gritty underworld of post-war Birmingham\, where power is taken\, not given\, and every alliance carries a price. \nFollowing Macbeth\, the young performers present a selection of Shakespearean monologues\, showcasing some of the playwright’s most powerful speeches. These moments offer a glimpse into the rich emotional worlds of Shakespeare’s characters. Full of passion\, conflict\, humour\, and humanity\, it gives our actors the chance to step into a range of unforgettable roles. \nRunning time: 90 minutes plus interval\nRecommended: 10+\nTickets: £5.00

SUMMARY:Miracle Theatre: Peer Gynt
DESCRIPTION:Summer 2026\, Miracle Theatre will bring their magical twist and love of laughter to the classic story of Peer Gynt. \nYoung Peer is a lazy dreamer\, who misinterprets Shakespeare’s advice “To thine own self be true” to mean “Look after number one”! \nHe chases after riches and pleasure and lives a life of moral failure and endless excuses. Surely\, he will come to no good? \nLoosely based on Ibsen’s epic comedy\, this famous morality tale is perfect material for Miracle Theatre’s highly visual style – physical\, funny\, surreal and deeply human – a journey through the dream-like world of Norse mythology\, peopled with cranky characters\, trolls and other bizarre creatures – a comedy of terrors! \nThis performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets\, cushions\, and chairs. We welcome picnics\, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather\, this event will move inside. \nRunning time: 120 minutes including interval\nRecommended: 7+\nTickets: Adult £20 | Concession £16 | Child £10 | Family (2 Adults\, up to 3 children) £50

SUMMARY:Dirty Laundry: Summer Spectacular
DESCRIPTION:Dirty Laundry returns to the Merlin for its biggest summer show yet – headlined by the unstoppable Diz Undone (formerly Dizraeli). \nRapper\, poet\, producer\, and multi-instrumentalist\, Diz is “a genre of his own”. From his cult debut Engurland / City Shanties to the explosive Joy Machine\, his work fuses hip-hop\, post-punk\, and jazz into something fiercely original. \nAs Gilles Peterson puts it: “Incredible… make sure you catch him live”. \nThe first half of the night is pure Dirty Laundry: a cabaret-style collision of spoken word\, music\, and live collaboration – featuring bold new performances forged in Dizzy’s Kitchen\, his creative mentoring project. \nThen Diz takes the stage for a full headline set. Expect rhythm\, fire\, lyricism\, and heart. Frome’s most electric night of words and music. \nRunning time: 130 minutes plus interval\nRecommended: 16+\nTickets: £15\nDirty Laundry is an uncensored space for honest\, grown-up creativity — think big feelings\, strong language\, and the occasional surprise. We welcome older teens\, but we can’t guarantee what others will bring to the mic. You know your young person best.
