THE SHAKE FESTIVAL PRESENTS THE WINTERS TALE
“I am delighted to tell you that we’re in rehearsal again, this time for a reading of Shakespeare’s much-loved play The Winter’s Tale on July 31st at 19:30 BST.
We've assembled a spectacular cast led by Mark Quartley and Charlotte Hamblin, and including Maia Jemmett making her UK debut.”
Tickets are £12 from our box office which is now open at Ticketsource.
This is one of Shakespeare’s last plays, encompassing tyranny and unspeakable tragedy, hilarious comedy, and a resolution so cathartic that we suggest you have tissues to hand.
We hope you enjoy the show!
