Sarah Thorne Theatre

Play by Avril Rowlands at the Sarah Thorne Theatre in Broadstairs

Starts at 4pm

When Shakespeare died he famously left his wife Anne only one thing in his will, the second best bed.

The play is set on the night of Shakespeare's funeral. The wake has finished and the mourners have all gone home, leaving Anne to remember her life with the most talented playwright the world has ever seen....Or was he? Did he write the plays? Surely Anne would know!

Performed by Liz Grand
Written by Avril Rowlands
Directed by Chris Jaege
