A night in the life of William Shakespeare, in which characters from his real life and from his plays meet. A unique insight into the workings of Shakespeare's mind, one that tantalizes, fascinates and intrigues in equal measures.
Imagine entering not just someone else's dream, but the dream of one of the most active and engaging imaginations of all time. Imagine you are there, sharing Shakespeare's feelings and thoughts, his anguish and hopes, his delight and wonder.
Imagine entering not just someone else's dream, but the dream of one of the most active and engaging imaginations of all time. Imagine you are there, sharing Shakespeare's feelings and thoughts, his anguish and hopes, his delight and wonder.
A troubled Shakespeare has a most disturbing dream. He is under pressure, his next opening night is but days away, and he has yet to finish the script. He's having problems with his family in Stratford. And he's also under suspicion of treason . . .
He retires to bed, to sleep, perchance to... Agitated, and struggling to reconcile life's demands with artistic desires, an everyday Will is haunted by his yet-to-be born creations, metamorphosing where time and mortality have no boundaries. Stumbling from one dream scene to the next, can he resolve his issues before coming dawn?
This is a fascinating insight into the workings and inspirations of the mind of a genius. Through the dream, we get an insight of how his real-life issues might have helped shape his literary creations. For all readers, including those who maybe aren't too familiar with Shakespeare; and for those who are, it's a fascinating opportunity to engage with the real-life and literary characters, and many words and themes taken from his plays.
Shakespeare's world, as never told before - a veritable carnival of imagined dream images, a unique retelling of his life and work. A rare opportunity to spend a night with William Shakespeare and treat yourself to one of the most extraordinary books on Shakespeare ever published.
The book started its life as a theatre play, Time After Time:
It is quite the most extraordinary and puzzling story I have read for some time. The writer handles the material with great flair and although at times it is confusing, it achieves a considerable impact through the cumulative resonance of each scene and image. This is a genuinely imaginative and intelligently written piece. Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre Literary Manager
Overall Time After Time is a superb, delightful production... It's an ambitious offering that gives you an insight into William Shakespeare's background which will appeal even to theatregoers who are not Bard worshippers. British Theatre Guide
