A new comedy inspired by William Shakespeare will make its debut in Chester this weekend.

Breaking Bard, the first collaboration between local groups Livemak Theatre and Live History, will be performed at St Mary's Creative Space on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 June at 7.30pm.

The original production follows Shakespeare, actor Richard Burbage and aspiring performer Bert in 1608 as they find themselves stranded in Chester and unable to return to London. With the help of local residents, the trio attempt to stage abridged versions of some of Shakespeare's most famous works, with predictably chaotic results.

The play features excerpts from classics including A Midsummer Night's Dream and Hamlet, while blending historical inspiration with fictional comedy.

Tickets can be booked here, at the Chester Visitor Information Centre, or on the door on the night of the performances.

Chester Repair Café returns this weekend, offering residents the chance to give their broken items a new lease of life.

Taking place on Saturday 27 June, the free event will run from 10.30am to 12.30pm in the former Barclays Bank building.

Volunteer repairers are typically able to help with small electrical items, clothing, textiles, soft toys, bicycles, and computers, including advice relating to the upcoming end of support for Windows 10.

Visitors are encouraged to bring just one item at a time, as they will need to stay with the repairer while work is carried out. No booking is required.
