Description

William 'Cavaliero' Kempe was one of the finest performers of the Elizabethan age... until he fell out with Will 'Git-Face' Shakespeare. Kempe died alone and poverty stricken, not very far from the original Globe Theatre: a world away from his former life having supposedly originated some of literature's best-known characters, including Bottom, Dogberry and Falstaff. Join Will 'Cavaliero' Kempe as he gives his final performance to an audience of a mouse and a marrote, and tells us what really happened between him and William Shakespeare. A bittersweet tale, told by an idiot.

Thoroughly enjoyed Shakespeare’s Fool. Full of wit, humour and storytelling power, complimented by an eloquent script and handled masterfully by actor Robin Leetham. Had me convinced, Shakespeare was a ‘git face’ fan of the classics or not you’ll certainly enjoy this one
