Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year with Allie Esiri

An event following the success Allie Esiri’s new anthology: Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year, published in hardback and in audiobook by Pan Macmillan in September.

The anthology takes you on an epic journey through the calendar year, covering key moments from Shakespeare’s work, life and times, with each day marked by a corresponding speech, sonnet or scene from across his magnificent canon.

From Malvolio in yellow stockings for Twelfth Night, to Richard III clamouring for a horse on the date of the Battle of Bosworth, or a love sonnet to mark Shakespeare’s marriage to Ann Hathaway and Juliet’s July birthday, to Henry V and his band of brothers at the Battle of Agincourt, the evening will feature powerful readings from one of the greatest living performers of Shakespeare Sir Simon Russell Beale, and other actors to be announced shortly.
