Nearby Shakespeare the Man from Stratford

After writing about and starring as Charles Dickens, actor Simon Callow turns his attention to recreating the life of another great British writer in Shakespeare The Man From Stratford, a theatre piece written by Shakespeare biographer Jonathan Bate - expert on the subject and editor of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Shakespeare: The Complete Works. In this one-man show Callow attempts to get to know the 'real' William Shakespeare and bring both the man himself and his cast of well known characters to life. As anyone who has read the Bard's major texts can attest, there's a host of compelling lead roles to choose from including lovers, kings, soldiers and clowns, and Callow is just the man to take them beyond the pages of a play. Shakespeare The Man From Stratford appears at the Everyman theatre in Liverpool, and the Theatre Royal Bath before opening at Richmond Theatre from 27th to 31st July 2010.About Richmond Theatre
The Victorian Richmond Theatre, which opened on 18 September 1899 with a performance of As You Like It, is one of the best examples of work by theatrical architect Frank Matcham. The interior is ornate, with lots of gilt detailing and plush fabrics. More about Richmond Theatre
