William Shakespeare
EUREKA moment. After ‘The Ghost of William Shakespeare’ had played the Stratford Upon Avon Festival for two consecutive years; the piece was considered good enough to be performed in the very same space where the worlds most famous dramatist was born; had lived; cried his first tear; spoke his first word; dreamed his first dream and drew daily breath when treading this mortal coil. As the small select audience watched the actor enter the hallowed space and delivered his first lines; I was hit with sudden blinding thought… William Shakespeare himself should be entering LIVE to tell the story of his life from off his own neb. Now! Wouldn’t that be something? I determined there and then to make that thought.. a Reality!

Wow! It looks and sounds like a fantastic project. There are some excellent actors skilled in OP now, based around the world; I’d be happy to connect you with some.

William Shakespeare returns in spirit to his place of birth to tell the story of his life; his rise to fame; the wife he married; his life in London; his mistress and his last few moments on this mortal coil upon which he trod leaving future generations around the Globe unparalleled works from his unequalled quilled hand of Genius!
Written by award winning playwright Den Stevenson author; playwright & wordsmith of Quill! (The Hand of Shakespeare) & ‘Bugle Boy’ This is a beautiful and poetical production filled with Shakespeare’s words combined to tell the great story of Stratford’s most famous son which is superbly performed by John-Robert Partridge of Tread the Boards; who dons the Bard’s cape which fits him like a glove!

I just wanted to fill you in on what we propose for 2012 in terms of ‘Ghost’! I will personally take up the ‘cloak and mantle’ and aim for the first week of Feb to begin performances on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons; We will also give ‘Ghost’ a prime time slot at the Stratford Fringe Festival from the 2nd-10th June…
