Double Feature - Lady Macbeth/ Second Best Bed
Groundwork Youth Theatre return with an original rethink of the Witches role in The Scottish Play. Written & Directed by Claire Ingram
In a double feature with
Cubby House Productions - Second Best Bed. An original dramedy musical asking the question history politely tiptoed around: what on earth happened to Anne Hathaway after Shakespeare died?
Left the “second-best bed” in his will (bold choice, Will), Anne is officially done being a historical footnote. Newly widowed and very much still grieving — Anne is forced to confront her legacy when Shakespeare’s most iconic creations start dropping in uninvited to guide her through the 5 stages of grief. Expect dramatic royalty, witches with impeccable comedic timing, and a chaotic ex who is suffering just as much as Anne.
As fiction collides with history (and possibly brief time travel), Anne begins to suspect her husband may have poured more emotional energy into iambic pentameter than into their marriage. Rude again.
