2026 Summer Sonnets: What the Deuce!

It’s summer at the Goodramgate Lawn Tennis Club, as four doubles teams compete for the opportunity to play in a prestigious amateur tournament at Wimbledon. Partnerships and rivalries lead to sabotage and break point. Who has the advantage? Who is at fault? And will the score be love…?

YSP’s popular summer show returns to Holy Trinity Goodramgate with a new situation and a new collection of characters, each finding a way to share one of Shakespeare’s celebrated sonnets. 

You are warmly invited to enjoy a complimentary drink and to see the goings on.

PLEASE NOTE: All performances are at Holy Trinity Church, Goodramgate, NOT at Theatre@41

Performances will run to about 50 minutes.

The show is aimed at those aged 14+ (up to two under 14s will be admitted free per full price ticket).

 

“What can be more lovely than a marriage of Shakespeare’s golden verse and York’s heritage”

“Please return next summer.”
