Shakespeare at the Castle

The outline of an eye is filled in with images such as waves, a large leaf, and a ship while the words "Tottering Biped Theatre" appear across the top and "The Tempest" are shown beneath.

The colourful silhouette of a woman lying on her side with water underneath her has the words "A Midsummer Night's Dream" superimposed over her.

The silhouette of a gold ship rides a blue and grey wave with the words "Merchant of Venice" next to it.

The red outline of a dagger with concentric circles emanating from its point and the words "Macbeth: Conspiracy Theory" above it, the address of the show, and a list of their sponsors.

A background of black bricks with the words "Shakespeare's Twelfth Night: To be seen or not to be seen" in the style of a neon sign over it.
