Simon Callow
BEING SHAKESPEARE: The Man From Stratford
Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton, 7:45pm
Written by Jonathan Bate In a magical tour-de-force, Simon Callow, one of Britain’s greatest actors, tracks down the real man behind William Shakespeare, the world’s greatest writer, bringing to life both the man and the unforgettable characters – lovers, kings, soldiers and clowns – who have since conquered the world’s stages. Following the world-wide success of The Mystery of Charles Dickens (West End/Broadway) and hot on the heels of his sell-out hit Dr Marigold & Mr Chops, Callow joins forces with Jonathan Bate, pre-eminent Shakespeare biographer and editor of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Shakespeare: The Complete Works, to fill the stage with Shakespeare’s real and imagined worlds.

An evening with Isla St Clair Tacchi -Morris Arts Centre, School Road Roger Collett hosts an evening with Isla, one of Britains foremost singers of traditional and modern classic songs. Isla has won many accolades including folk-singer of the year. She is of course remembered with much affection for her many TV appearances - most notably as co-host of the hugely popular Generation Game in the late 70's and early 80's. Her current stage show is a wonderful fusion of song, spiced with humorous personal experiences both as a singer and broadcaster. An evening with Isla is both poignant and highly entertaining.
Reserved seats are £12.00 & £10.00 (concs) Contact: Tacchi - Morris Arts Centre Box Office (open 10.00am - 4.00pm Mondays - Fridays ) Tel 01823 414141
