The Sonneteer - A Play on Passion, Power & Possession

For those of you who enjoyed ANGEL: my new play, The Sonneteer, also deals with youth and beauty, but from a very different angle. Featuring the sonnets of William Shakespeare, it will premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and run there from 1st to 23rd August 2014, with two London Previews at the Landor Theatre on 18th & 19th July 2014.

Here's the blurb:

What drove the celebrated poet, playwright and actor to write a suite of sonnets about beauty, life and the passage of time and address them to a handsome young man? Obsession? Folly? Infatuation? Or was there more than meets the eye today?

In a dynamic new take on an old question, two contemporary characters delve into some of the most glorious poetry ever composed, as they weave in and out of the past in search of a plausible truth about love.

Everything is conjecture. Except the words...


Full details and some astonishingly good Early Bird ticket offers at: http://www.thesonneteer.info

All the best and it would be wonderful to see some of you up in Edinburgh or down in London this summer!

Sebastian
