This Sheffield theater company performs Shakespeare's entire theatrical canon -- yes, all of the plays (to be sure, in condensed versions of about an hour each) -- using household objects on a table top.  (The promotional materials suggest this as a good way to catch up on obscure titles you've heretofore missed -- which under the circumstances seems rather comical:  "Have you ever seen Titus Andronicus?"  "Oh, yes:  performed by household objects on a table top in an hour.")  You can go to as many (or as few) of the plays as you want:  $10 a shot, four for $30.  It's hard to imagine not seeing at least some of these.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  This is another event that calls for an all-day café.  And there's a really great one right nearby:  the Mexico City-style Atla.
