Welcome

…to RoughCast Theatre Company’s website.

RoughCast has been touring East Anglia since 2000. Back then, we only staged Shakespeare, but we now perform plays from all periods, including translations. ‘Lovesong’, performed in early 2023, was written in 2011.

In this, our 25th anniversary year, we are staging ‘Romeo and Juliet’, the 14th of his plays we will have performed. We will be working again with two fabulous young actors, Rollo Bacon and Scarlett Fisher, in the lead roles.

We welcome offers to act or to help backstage. Also, please get in touch if you’ve seen and liked one of our productions, or if you have a potential venue, via our Contact Page.

We are a not-for-profit theatre company based loosely around Harleston in Norfolk. Proceeds from programme sales are donated to charity.

On Stage

We have just completed our summer production of Romeo and Juliet. The weather gods were kind to us and all outdoor performances went without hitch. We had a blast.

Watch out for our next production early next year which will be Stoppard’s comedy The Real Inspector Hound.
