The Man who was Hamlet
The tragical, comical, romantic and utterly scandalous history of The Man who was Hamlet... No, not the illiterate tax-dodger of Stratford, but the real ‘William Shakespeare’ – Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. Courtier, swordsman, adventurer and poet, his story involves murder, travel, pirates, a lovechild, imprisonment in The Tower and fighting the Armada. Hailed the best of the secret courtpoets, he suddenly stopped when ‘Shakespeare’ appeared. Did de Vere inspire Hamlet? Or was he really the author? Award-winning performer George Dillon presents his eighth solo show, with original music by Charlotte Glasson.
