A light-hearted collection of sketches, songs and anecdotes inspired by the works and reputation of William Shakespeare. Originally created for the Royal Shakespeare Company in April 1993 for the annual birthday celebrations, it subsequently transferred to the Barbican Theatre and the West End. It includes extracts from Alan Bennett, Noel Coward, Richmal Crompton, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Miller, Bill Oddie, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Victoria Wood and many others. The result is a sparkling entertainment in the revue tradition, performed by six versatile actors and their pianist. You never knew Shakespeare could be so much fun!
