Shakespeare

Rediscover Shakespeare with one of Britain's most celebrated actors. Simon Callow tracks down the real man behind the legend, bringing to life both the Bard himself and his unforgettable characters in this brand new and definitive stage production.

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. A theatrical event not to be missed.

Praise for Jonathan Bate:

"Jonathan Bate is an outstanding scholar (and author of the best existing biography of Shakespeare) who writes with as much elegance as insight about the making of theatre and the creation of the plays"

"The new Complete Works from the RSC is a glorious edition of one of the world's most important books. All human life is here – and every home should have one."
