Do you like Shakespeare? Then this play is for you. Do you hate Shakespeare? Then this play is for you, too!
Anne Hathaway is fed up with people just making assumptions about her because of her famous husband. Everybody knows the story of the world’s greatest playwright, but nobody stops to wonder whose stories get lost as a result. And his wife has had just about enough of that. Embark on a journey of love, loss, and literature to discover the power of the theatre, spearheaded by a woman no longer lost to history.
Join Anne Hathaway as she reveals the truth behind the Bard, his biggest rival, and the girl whose voice was never heard. It’s time to follow the story of a man you think you know, told by a woman you definitely don’t…yet.
This production is suitable for ages 8 and over.
