SHAKESPEARE sings! A Musical Play about the Life and Loves of William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's intriguing life and death is highlighted by his scandalous love for a 'dark lady' and a 'man right fair'. The listener is transported back to Elizabethan England where the musical is centered on London's colourful world of street markets, taverns and the royal palaces of Queen Elizabeth 1st and King James 1st; with a dramatic climax at the fiery destruction of Shakespeare's beloved Globe Theatre.
Mansell's sparkling songs, romantic music, and clever dialogue (incorporating actual phrases from Shakespeare's works), brings refreshing life to the Bard's story. This musical audiobook is an ideal addition to the catalogues of all libraries, universities and schools, as well as to theatre-lovers and fans of Shakespeare's sonnets everywhere.
