Autumn season continues with Shakespeare in Love
October 31, 2024 The autumn season from the Putney Theatre Company continues with a production of Shakespeare in Love Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall and based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard, it runs from 12-16 November with performances at 7.45pm and a matinee on 16 November. Directed by Jodi Rilot & Barney Hart Dyke, this stage adaptation reimagines Shakespeare’s creative process – and explores his inspiration – as he writes the greatest love story of all time, Romeo & Juliet… Promising young playwright Will Shakespeare is tormented by writer's block until he finds his muse in the form of passionate noblewoman, Viola De Lesseps. With all the well-loved Shakespearean tropes - cross-dressing disguises, mistaken identities, suspicions of adultery, and sword fighting, this play-within-a-play delivers a tale of love and drama set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England. Putney Arts Theatre is on Ravenna Road (SW15 6AW).
