William Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwrights of all time, yet compared to his contemporaries we know very little about him: and of the thirty-six plays he wrote, not one original manuscript exists. My Son, Will takes a sympathetic look at Shakespeare the babe in arms, at the schoolboy, the lover, the newly married man, the father-turned actor-turned-playwright. Part fact, part fantasy, and part fun, this eccentric, inventive, outrageous and above all human quest to find the heady days of Queen Elizabeth I and the diverse characters that jostled in the streets, swaggered in the taverns and flocked to the playhouses of London at the end of the sixteenth century.| 3 Dec 99 to 4 Dec 99 | The Studio, Beckenham Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
