Description

Much more a comedy gig than a lecture, James Sheldrake brings the spirit of his podcast (Sheldrake on Shakespeare) to Edinburgh for an hour of anecdote, insight, performance, analysis and laughter. A former English teacher, Sheldrake has had quite enough of the classroom and wants to share his love of Shakespeare in a much more comic style. Prepare for a mind-broadening evening that won’t feel too much like a mind-broadening evening! Whether you know everything or nothing about Shakespeare, this show will entertain and enlighten. What Keith Floyd was to food, this show is to Shakespeare.
