This unique theatrical evening – presented by Gemma Arterton and Patrick Stewart – marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in an extraordinary programme celebrating well-known speeches, dialogues and events from many Shakespearean plays over many theatrical years.
Accompanied by music from such composers as Nigel Hess (Ladies in Lavender), Craig Armstrong (Romeo + Juliet), Henry Purcell, William Walton, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Stephen Warbeck, Shakespeare will be brought vividly to life as the Bard’s most famous speeches and scandalous backstage anecdotes create a night to remember.
The performance has been devised and will be conducted by Nigel Hess, and directed by Guy Unsworth.
