ABOUT
‘If you have ever refused to budge an inch, or suffered from green-eyed jealousy; if you have played fast and loose; if you have been tongue-tied, a tower of strength, hoodwinked or in a pickle; if you have knitted your brows, made a virtue of necessity, insisted on fair play or slept not one wink, had short shrift, cold comfort or too much of a good thing; if you have seen better days or lived in a fool’s paradise – why, be that as it may, the more fool you, for it’s a foregone conclusion that you are (as good luck would have it) quoting Shakespeare.’
Shakespeare meets showbiz in this glittering cabaret-style piece. This sparkling entertainment comprises comic writing inspired by Shakespeare, as well as some classic songs and sketches by such well-known names as Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Fry and Laurie and Monty Python. You definitely don't need to be a Shakespearean scholar to enjoy this comic concoction of entertaining sketches and clever numbers!
