The Second Best Bed

When Shakespeare died, he 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 premier in 2012. Liz Grand stars as Anne Hathaway on the night of Shakespeare’s funeral. The wake has finished, 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?

With actress Liz Grand (previous shows: ‘Where is Mrs Christie?’, ‘Mrs Churchill – My Life with Winston’ and ‘The Secret Life of Enid Blyton) we are guaranteed a compelling performance and a thought-provoking script around one of the greatest literary mysteries!
