Nine Daies Wonder

T01969982322
Nine Daies Wonder re-creates the spirit of a notable Elizabethan artistic journey. In 1600, Will Kemp, a shameless self-publicist and one of the leading actors in Shakespeare's company, danced his way from London to Norwich in nine days, entertaining an adoring public en route. The Society of Strange and Ancient Instruments with dancer, Steven Player, breathe new life into this celebrated event. Kemp was renowned for light hearted and raucous ?jigs' performed for the audience's pleasure at the end of theatrical performances. For tonight, writer and actor Simon Paisley Day, in collaboration with The Society, has created a brand new 21st century Elizabethan jig.
