Brush Up
Your Shakespeare

Friday 19th April 2024

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players...

As You Like It, Act 2 Scene 7

An evening of sonnets, songs
and soliloquies…

Directed by Harry Denford and Diana Hainsworth-Fraser, ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare’ lets audiences experience the laughs, thrills and drama of some of Shakespeare’s best work.

Hosted in the historic atmosphere of Shrewsbury House, our players will take you from a stormy Tempest to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, dropping in on Julius Caesar and Henry IV on the way.
