Hello Shakespeareans,

Please see below for information regarding a change in cast member.
It was a joy to have Chesca Downes as part of the cast for #Tamingoftheshrew, but we wish her well, and look forward to working with her in the future.

Hello Shakespeareans,
How do you make #Tamingoftheshrew accessible, turn it into a children's book, complete with illustrations and an intro by #BenedictCumberbatch.

Hello Shakespeareans,
It seems a may have missed an earlier write up by @Charleshutchpr1 , from the 25th March, so we thought we should showcase it now. Charles gives a little insight into the direction of the play, without giving too much away.
