Biography:
Actor and director Michael Pennington presents a highly original one-man Shakespeare show. It weaves together many aspects of Shakespeare’s life and work. Pennington also performs some of the great and lesser known speeches and reflects on his long and international experiences as a director and leading actor.
Press comments from the Chester Literature Festival:
“Sweet William was one of the highlights of the 2006 Festival. It was not only exquisitely performed, but also offered illuminating insights into Shakespeare’s life and themes.
Pennington’s huge experience of performing and directing Shakespeare is distilled in Sweet William. The result is a two-hour tour-de-force, delivered with the apparent effortlessness which only a great actor could create.”
Press comments from The Winchester Festival:
“Fascinating and informative… A masterclass on our master playwright.”
