Shakespeare and Cervantes



A witty and energetic romp through the lives of two of history's greatest writers, who died on the same date. We race through the lives of both these great historic figures, raking through their dirty laundry, failed marriages, brawls and successes, as they recite pieces from their own works and bring alive incidents from their personal stories through dance and song, comedy and drama, with the occasional piece of slapstick.
