Welcome to Shakespeare-at-Traquair.co.uk. Please feel free to browse around the site, make a note of future productions or get in touch to find out more! Each year since 1995 the group has performed at Traquair House, covering a range of Shakespeare's plays. Together the cast, crew and audience experience Shakespeare in the beautiful grounds of Traquair. During June 2009 we performed Shakespeare's Othello. We also perform other plays by other playwrights (including our own) both at Traquair and elsewhere.

Photographs from previous productions are being added and you can view images from The Merchant of Venice (2004), A Midsummer Night's Dream (2005), Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (2005), As You Like It (2006), The Lion in Winter (2007), The Tempest (2007), The Merry Wives of Windsor (2008) and Othello (2009).

In 2010 we will be performing Macbeth

This year’s Shakespeare at Traquair is a new version of that old favourite, Macbeth. Husband and wife team, Richard and Fiona Forsyth, are directing the dark machinations of the tortured Macbeths, whose dealings with the occult and political assassinations result in paranoia and mental meltdown.
