A star studded evening of Shakespeare featuring Damien Lewis, Stephen Mangan and Tony Robinson comes to Regents Park Open Air Theatre in July.
To celebrate the 400 year anniversary of Shakespeare’s first folio and 90 years of performances in the park, actors from stage and screen will read from Allie Esiri’s best selling anthology: Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year.
In a similar format to Letters Live, the performers will guide the audience on a journey through Shakespeare’s best bits. There will be poetry, speeches, comedy and scenes read by actors who have a special connection to Shakespeare’s work and to Regents Park Theatre itself.
One of the UK’s biggest selling poetry books, Shakespeare For Every Day of the Year by poetry champion Allie Esiri is an inspiring collection of 365 poems, speeches and scenes from across all of Shakespeare’s plays, each with an illuminating introduction. Allie has published ten hugely popular poetry anthologies, including A Poem For Every Day Of The Year and 365 Poems For Life, as part of her mission to keep poetry alive and make it accessible for everyone.
Esiri read Modern and Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge then worked as an actress for ten years in the English Shakespeare Company and on TV in shows such as Sharpe, Howard’s End, Men Behaving Badly and Poirot, before moving on to create the first poetry apps, daily poetry anthologies (for all ages) and live shows.
