If you're after a bit of Shakespeare with a modern twist, is making an appearance in Launceston. This particular adaptation, which got its start at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art back in 2017, takes a witty look at what we actually pay attention to in our 21st century lives. Expect some snazzy dance moves, interesting choreography, and brand new tunes with lyrics straight from the Bard himself, so there's plenty to keep your eyes and ears entertained.

Here's the kicker: they're practically begging you to keep your mobile phone on during the show. You get to choose whether to watch the actors live on stage, or dive into a digital world accessed through Facebook on your phone. If you're without a phone, or just prefer a bigger picture, there's a live Facebook newsfeed projected on a screen at the back of the stage. And for those who fancy a bit of villainous gossip, you can even follow a Messenger chat group with the play's resident scoundrels, Joan and Borachio, letting you get right into the thick of the mischief.
