The Great Shakespeare Sonnet Show
Will Sutton will be your guide through the most fought-over collection of poems
in the history of literature. He will present no new theories as to why, when, where,
or who wrote them, but will concentrate purely and playfully on their form, content and argument.
The audience will also have a chance to test Will’s memory by asking him to identify a line,
phrase or word from one of the sonnets.
Tickets: £12
tickets available from the Shakespeare Bookshop, Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon
