ABOUT THE SHOW

SHAKESPEARE’S GHOST, written and directed by Vivienne McKee, is a murder mystery based on the playwright who wrote the greatest works of English literature. Could Stratford-born Shakespeare, with his meagre education and ignorance of the aristocracy, have written Hamlet, Henry V, Macbeth? Many believe he did not, and that he was the ghost writer for his brilliant contemporary, Christopher Marlowe, supposedly killed in a pub fight at the height of his theatre success.
Did Marlowe, who risked torture and execution, fake his own death and write the famous plays in hiding? This play investigates Marlowe’s mysterious murder, and his connection to the man known as – William Shakespeare.

REVIEWS


”A privileged evening in the company of the Bard, whoever he might be. Vivienne McKee’s ‘Shakespeare’s Ghost’ is a triumph of wit and excitement that might make you reconsider everything you know”
THE COPENHAGEN POST


På 75 minutter føres vi igennem fem små scener, hvor vi i den grad bliver nysgerrige på, hvad sandheden mon egentlig
KULTUNAUT


”Fornøjelig engelsksproget teaterleg med mysterierne i Shakespeares liv og værker”
JYLLANDS-POSTEN


”Stykket tager os med tilbage til William Shakespeares samtid, hvor Vivienne McKee på intelligent og vittig vis rejser spørgsmålet, om Shakespeare virkelig skrev alle sine stykker selv … her er virkelig stof til eftertanke”
CPHCULTURE


”Shakespeare fejres overbevisende af London Toast Theatre … Meget anbefalelsesværdig”
KULTURKUPEEN


”Vivienne McKe har skabt en fin lille forestilling, der giver anledning til god diskussion og pirrer din indre mysterielyst. I hendes instruktion er de tre skuespillere i sikre hænder, hvor der gives plads til det lyriske, og hvor mysteriet pirrer til ens nysgerrighed på at vide mere. – Små underfundige ordspil finder vej hist og her og understøtter tiden omkring Shakespeare”
OUT & ABOUT


”Derimod fik det mig mest af alt til at ville vide mere, ikke bare om selve historien omkring Shakespeare og Marlowe og deres værker, men i særdeleshed om historierne i værkerne, som jeg fik lyst til at læse og dermed lære at kende endnu bedre”
