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. |
