Shakespeare is the greatest writer the world has ever known. But we know nothing about him. Or do we?

In a magical tour-de-force, Simon Callow, one of Britain’s greatest actors, tracks down the real William Shakespeare, bringing to life both the man and the unforgettable characters – lovers, kings, soldiers and clowns – who have since conquered the world’s stages.

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, we have teamed up with our dear friends at Liverpool Playhouse to offer a unique package including two tickets, king deluxe room and breakfast for £170 per couple. Tickets available for performances on 16th, 17th, 18th or 19th June 2010.
