Shakespeare, His Wife and The Dog
April 1616 – Shakespeare has returned to Stratford a rich and famous man but all’s not well. Why is he so unhappy? Why can’t he sleep? Why is his wife furious with him? Who is Will waiting for and why can’t Anne find the dog? A sleepless night in Stratford. The secrets, lies, resentments and passions of a marriage laid bare. The one hour traffic of our play.
Written by Philip Whitchurch. Performed by Philip Whitchurch and Sally Edwards. Directed by Julia St John.
