Auckland Shakespeare in the Park - a comedy and a tragedy!

Shoreside Theatre

Each summer the Shoreside Theatre presents two genuine Shakespeare plays under the stars in The PumpHouse Amphitheatre. You have the choice of a comedy or tragedy – or both! Generous discounts when booking for both shows.

Romeo and Juliet
This play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works. In Verona a feud rages between two families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo Montague meets young Juliet Capulet at a ball. The teenagers fall in love and secretly marry. Desperate, Juliet and her friar concoct a plan for her to be with her one true love, Romeo – but at what price?

The Comedy of Errors
Shakespeare’s earliest comedy - two sets of identical twins wander around Ephesus unaware of the others’ existence. Typical of the best farces, they are of course hilariously mistaken for each other in a crescendo of confusions.

Real Shakespeare under the stars in the outdoor PumpHouse Amphitheatre!
