“At Home with Will Shakespeare”
Famed, veteran, British actor and playwright, Pip Utton, welcomes us into the home of William Shakespeare on the last night of his life. The aged Bard still has much sparkle and spunk as he generously sprinkles into his conversation lines from his plays and verses from his sonnets as well as anecdotes of his life. Along the way he also both entertains and educates us about the world of London and its theatres during the early reigning years of James I. The hour in the presence of both Shakespeare and the venerable Utton passes much too quickly. One leaves feeling having been in the presence of two great masters of the word and the stage.
Rating: 5 E

Another incredible performance by Pip Utton - my wife and I have been going to his shows at the Fringe for many years now (Churchill/Adolf/Bacon/Thatcher/Hancock/Dylan - to name but a few) - he didn't perform here in 2023 and we missed him - WELCOME BACK PIP

This man makes you glad you were forced to study Shakespeare at school. He brings it to life and helps you paint pictures in your head. He's far better than CGI

It’s slick stuff, showing us both the mechanics and magic of theatre and leaving us to speculate on the truth of its novel ending.
