Returning for its third Edinburgh season, After Shakespeare asks what happens to Shakespeare’s heroes and villains once the curtain falls. Lady Macbeth, Portia, Hamlet and King Hal reflect on power, love and survival, beyond the endings we think we know. In this acclaimed solo show, Lexi Wolfe transforms seamlessly between four iconic characters, weaving Shakespeare’s language with historical insight and fresh dramatic imagination. Witty, poignant, surprising; a thoughtful, inventive celebration of voice and consequence, long after the lights fade. 'A must-see show' ★★★★★ (EdinburghGuide.com). 'One of this year's stand-out shows' ★★★★ (GetYourCoatsOn.com). 'Refreshing and gifted writing' ★★★★ (WestEndBestFriend.co.uk).
