Write Away, Hathaway! is an alternative-reality comedy that reimagines the lives of William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway. In this two-hander performance, we explore a world in which the secret behind the Bard’s literary genius might be rather closer to home than history suggests!
Blending historical references, Shakespearean humour and comic invention, the play explores marriage, ambition, authorship and the unequal opportunities available to men and women in Elizabethan society. As William struggles with writer’s block and Anne discovers her own extraordinary talent, the couple find themselves caught in a hilarious arrangement that raises an important question: who really deserves the applause?
She wrote the words. He took the bows.
