Would you like to “brush up your Shakespeare” but don’t have time to see all 37 plays or read all 154 sonnets? Then come and enjoy the highlights of the Bard’s work in Shakespeare's Greatest Hits!

'In Voice and Verse' bring to life the best pieces of the Shakespeare’s work in words and music. Actor Lance Pierson presents the most famous speeches and sonnets from Hamlet to Henry and Richard to Romeo. Soprano Belinda Yates and pianist Heather Chamberlain perform music inspired by Shakespeare's work, from Purcell to Porter and Walton's Henry V to Bernstein's West Side Story.
