Description |
A daring and original play which brings together two giants of history: William Shakespeare and the formidable Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I. In the small hours of the night before Ash Wednesday, 1601, Shakespeare and the Lord Chamberlain's Men receive an unexpcted visitor to their humble lodgings. Unable to rest, the Queen herself has come to keep vigil on the eve of the execution of her former lover, the Earl of Essex. Her arrival provokes the rapier-sharp wit and keen insight of Ned Lowenscroft, the company's brilliant performer of women's roles, and sparks the imagination of the Bard of Avon |
