Details

The Gravedigger of Elsinore was ever a down to earth sort of chap - from dying he has his living. Follow his journey through a world grown out of Shakespeare's words. In the company of fools he rushes where angels fear to tread, seeking the answers to life's ultimate questions - What is the meaning of life? What is the nature of death? Is death the final curtain or are we just re-cast? Inspired by the characters and language of William Shakespeare.
