Delighted to offer us a “ first”, Re-Shake Theatre are visiting us again, with a performance of The Tragedies of Gorboduc, specially adapted and introduced by Professor Ken Pickering, for this online event. The evening will feature a performance of the abridged play, by Lizzie Willis and Doug Gardiner, followed by a Q & A session. Written by Norton & Sackville and an overtly political play, it was performed for the public and Queen Elizabeth I quite early in her reign. It is considered England’s first true history play and the first to use blank verse. The family power struggles it chronicles rival any of our modern “ soaps”. 7pm, Tues 16th Feb ( book by 6pm)
