Event information

Shakespeare’s Fool is a captivating one-actor show that tells the story of Elizabethan superstar, Will Kempe, and sheds light on his part in Shakespeare’s success.

Will 'Cavaliero' Kempe was one of the finest performers of the Elizabethan age. Gentleman player, juggling jester, headmaster of Morris dancers and London's finest clown, until…he fell out with Will 'git-face' Shakespeare.

It has had two successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and has been a part of two International Shakespeare Festivals with sell-out shows across the UK at major UK venues and rural touring schemes.

(If no tickets show here, there may still be some at the Foxlowe - though we do try to re-allocate so far as we can.)
