- **Event Description**: DEATH OF A CLOWN – A Solo Performance Drama

It is the year 1600 and one-time theatrical superstar Will Kemp is down on his luck.
Reduced to long-distance morris dancing as a publicity stunt, there’s only one
person to blame: Will Shakespeare. T’other Will.
Our Will wants to tell you about it…
Though we know frustratingly little about our greatest poet and playwright, we
know even less about his pre-eminent comic actor, the extraordinary Will Kemp. We
can glean from existing records that he was the most popular clown of his day, also
that Shakespeare wrote his early comic roles with him in mind (most notably
Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream), but further references to him are sparse.
Along with Shakespeare himself, it is known that he was a sharer (or director) of
The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, who staged all of Shakespeare’s plays and who were
the most successful company in London, and we also know that as a sharer he was
an equal amongst equals, so could not be dismissed. And yet, in 1599, he suddenly
disappears from the records, which suggests that he left the company of his own
accord. Why he should choose to do so, seemingly at the height of his powers and
popularity, only to vanish into obscurity (apart from his “nine day’s wonder” in
1600) is a mystery that this play attempts to unravel.
