Death of a Clown - Oundle Fringe Performance
A Shakespearian tragi-comical history. The rise and fall of Will Kemp: a tale of two Wills... An event held as part of the Oundle Fringe Festival.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
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...
As part of the Oundle Fringe Festival, join Theatre 17 for an evening of Tudor theatre and fun. Celebrating local talent and arts organisations, this event is free to attend, with 'pay what you can' donations on the door.
