Award-winning comedian, writer and actor, Penny Ashton (Promise and Promiscuity, Olive Copperbottom) presents her latest literary solo musical with this Shakespearean frolic. She’ll spark 13 characters into life in an Elizabethan tale of magic, meddling and puffed bull’s pizzles.
So what's it all about?
Sicily’s beloved King Enzo is dead.
Now Princess Rosa, a stroppy spinster, must navigate the tempestuous waters of belching step-fathers, lusty suitors, popping cod pieces and menopausal witches, to face her destiny.
What the critics have said:
“..a well-crafted and deftly performed production of a witty and intelligent show. I very much appreciate the skilful use of Shakespearean material throughout.” Theatreview
“... a funny and clever romp...an excellently written script that Shakespeare himself would be proud of.” Theatrescenes
The event is part of the Shakespeare in the City festival, presented by Shakespeare in the Park Charitable Trust.
