This Week's Flashback -William Shakespeare in "Kings" 1997


It has been a good few years now since I last performed my one-man play about Shakespeare, but over Easter I have been looking through the scrapbook and remember this production with great affection, not least because I had total control of everything –the script, the direction, the production and not least the performance. Essentially it is a 70 minute monologue performed by Shakespeare a day or two before he dies. He sits going through his papers, and conjures up
vivid memories from his life and work, and the characters he created. I learned more from doing this piece than anything else I have done. I am rather tempted to revive it one day too.
