FROM THE PRESS

‘The basic premise was excellent..slick and deliciously funny…a welcome addition to the Everyman’s new writing project..’
Evesham Journal



'Shakespeare’s Sisters is a comic tribute to the themes of love and relationships found in the Bard’s work. Weaving together ideas and storylines found throughout his work, the play opens the lids on the lives and loves of the three female protagonists.

Rarely seen in Shakespeare’s work itself we are given an insight into the minds and motivations of the women as they set out to cure their troubled relationships and plot a smooth course through the troubled waters of love.

Sliding between Shakespearean verse and contemporary references, the play effortlessly mixes grand imagery, puns and self-aware modern flourishes.
Director Jonathan Shelley brings us a polished production, boasting excellent performances by the five strong cast. If you are a fan of Shakespeare go along and revel in this marvellous tribute. If not, go along anyway and enjoy a well performed comedy.'
Camden New Journal (Paper of the year)
