Shakespeare’s stand-up

Award-winning comedian Tim Fitzhigham plays Will Kemp and tells an extraordinary tale of jousting egos and morris dancing (see BBC News report here).  It’s played to rave reviews around the country as part of the Shakespeare 400 anniversary celebrations. More from Tim about 17th century rivalry here.

Tim has adapted the show for drafty churches with uncomfortable seating, little staging, electricity or creature comforts! We’re intrigued to see how it will work – and its also a great way to test a one off event like this, working on a tight budget with volunteer support.

Tickets are £12/ £10 concessions (suitable for 14+) in person from Visitor Information Centre at Town Hall or online.

The show is under an hour long and there’ll be a small sponsored bar with hot drinks (it’s also a fundraiser for The CCT), blankets should be available on the door but you know the drill – come well wrapped up, with cushion!
