Directed by Gill Morrell. featuring well-known Shakespeare Live actors together with some talented newcomers, including Bernard the golden retriever, and featuring fabulous medieval costumes and live original music, Shakespeare Live promises ninety minutes of fast, furious, and very, very funny entertainment.
The autumn tour starts on Saturday 14th October at The Cause in Chippenham, then The Merlin in Frome on Sunday 15th, two nights at The Mission (Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th), The Town Hall in Corsham on Thursday 19th, and the final show at The Marden House Centre in Calne on Friday 20th.
