‘The Second Best Bed’ by Avril Rowlands, starring Liz Grand, directed by Chris Jaeger.
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 2012 premier at the Swan Theatre Worcester.
Liz Grand stars as Anne Hathaway on the night of Shakespeare’s funeral. The wake has finished, the mourners have all gone home, leaving Anne to remember her life with the most talented playwright the world has ever seen…….or was he?
Did he write the plays?
His widow would know if anybody did. Wouldn’t she? She would!!
