| The Dream The action takes place outside the Globe Theatre in the year 1599 where Will Kemp, comic actor and fool, has taken on a dare by the theatre manager to stand in for Nell the orange seller, who is off sick.

and brilliantly told, this was a comedy performance that was both
original and inspiring" "Probably
the best introduction to Shakespeare I've seen by a
small-scale company working in schools"
"A
hilarious tour de force which, though aimed at
youngsters, is definitely one for the adults too . . . .
a surprising and very welcome way to present Shakespeare's
work" |
