Omnibus Theatre - London - November 2023

This was a reading of a brand new play by Martin Keady exploring for the first time the life of William Shakespeare through the comedy, tragedy and history of his life. Written to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the printing of the First Folio without which we would not have the. cannon. of Shakespeare plays we do today this is an exciting new play. I have been very privileged to join the team working with Martin and Tamsin to prepare this play for its first reading before an audience
