The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company -
new theatre inspired by the Commedia dell'Arte

The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company has been creating original theatre inspired by the traditions and style of Commedia dell'Arte since 1999. Best known for our outdoor summer touring across the village greens of Southern England, we are also now developing new work to be staged indoors in a variety of community venues, starting with our latest play The Dressing Book...

Summer 2013 Tour - Harlequin Goes to The Moon

The year is now well on its way and plans for our summer tour of 'Harlequin Goes to the Moon' are unfolding. The tour begins on Thursday 13th June in the tiny village of Dial Post in West Sussex.

Maybe surprisingly, this is the first time we have ever set a play in the historical period of commedia. But the story is haunting and it felt time to do it. It goes to the roots of the commedia dell'arte tradition, so full of slapstick, poetry, romance, buffoonery and original music.

Tickets can be purchased on-line on our tickets page. Book now to take adavantage of our special advance ticket prices!
