Coronation Street legend Steven Arnold stars in Doing Shakespeare.

Six actors meet up to do Shakespeare the way Shakespeare himself would have done Shakespeare: learning their parts separately and then meeting up on the day to go through entrances and exits, fights and jigs. However, due to a breakdown in communications, each actor has learnt a different play but rather than abandon the performance, they carry on regardless convincing themselves that the audience wont notice.

David Spicers mad Shakespearean mash-up will have you rolling in the aisles and the Bard turning in his grave and show that the course of true theatre never did run smooth!
