Welcome to my website!   
My mission, as Shakespeare Man, is to bring William Shakespeare, the man behind the words, to vivid life for contemporary audiences, including:-
 
Regional theatres, Corporate and Charitable events, Conferences, Colleges, Schools, Home Schoolers, Libraries, Festivals and Adult groups. 

Every programme is carefully designed to be entertaining and informative, and to provide a unique insight into the Briton of the Millennium.

My portrayal of Shakespeare, the man, is ideal for film, television and commercial productions.

Live Performances and Appearances, in full period costume, are very flexible, economic and easy to stage. I am a One Man Show and can easily adapt to the requirements of my varied audiences, young and not so young!

Performing as William Shakespeare:
Fascinating insights into Shakespeare’s personal, creative and business life in Stratford and London, during the reigns of Elizabeth1 and James1 form part of every performance.  

The dust is shaken off Shakespeare's masterpieces, including his sonnets, using a lively mixture of performance, reading, analysis and LOTS of audience participation.
