“Shakespeare’s Will” A historical play by Canadian writer Vern Thiessen, touching on the little known life of William Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway.
Performed by Sally Hyde Lomax, the play starts immediately after Will’s funeral. Anne has been handed Shakespeare’s last will and testament by one of her least favourite people, his sister Joan. She initially ignores the will itself and instead spends an hour reminiscing about her life with, or as it turns out, largely without, Will. After an hour, she finally reads the will and finds some unexpected surprises.
Already staged in Bristol, Cambridge and Cheltenham, the play is on in Broadhembury for one night:
Saturday, September 9
7.30pm in The Memorial Hall
