The Worcester Pilgrim was a great success at Worcester Cathedral during its short run in October 2006. Some audience reactions: “An outstanding and memorable event.” “Humorous and heartbreaking, and definitely not a long enough run—the world should see it.” “I hope that it will not be the last we see of it, as it deserves to live on in future performances.” |

The Shakespeare Walk is now in its thirteenth successful year! |
|
‘ During two hours of story-telling you will come to Shakespeare in his home town through the eyes of one of three actors: Jonathon Milton, (actor, scholar, and original designer of ‘The Walk’), Stan Pretty MBE, (actor, broadcaster and director), or Myself, (actor, Stratford resident, and veteran of the RSC, The New Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre.) Between the three of us we bring you over 100 years’ practical experience of trying to get to grips with that extraordinarily elusive man, Mr Will Shakespeare. Private Parties can book me as their guide by coming to rob@lister.spacomputers.com |
