Action Arts Group: “Second Best Bed”
Thornbury Methodist Church Hall
“Second Best Bed” - The story of Shakespeare’s wife Anne Hathaway, performed by Liz Grand, written by Avril Rowlands, directed by Chris Jaeger - an Action Arts Group event.
When Shakespeare died, he famously left his wife Anne only one thing, the second-best bed.
This superb one-woman play, full of both humour and pathos, has received great critical acclaim since its premier in 2012. It takes place after the wake has finished on the night of Shakespeare’s funeral. The mourners have left, leaving Anne to remember her life with the most talented playwright the world has ever seen.
Or was he? Did he write the plays? Anne should know. In this frank, humorous and revealing monologue, the audience gets to know Shakespeare like never before. And you will find out who wrote the plays!
