Man Who Was Hamlet

In his seventh solo show, George Dillon (Herald Angel Award winner: Berkoff’s ‘Graft’) reveals the tragical, comical and utterly scandalous history of the man behind ‘Hamlet’ – not the illiterate merchant of Stratford, but the real ‘William Shake-speare’, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. ‘It’s easy to see why Dillon’s performances have made him the toast of Edinburgh … direct and absorbing … A virtuoso display of dramatic range’ (BritishTheatreGuide.info); ‘An exciting piece of writing, witty and sharp, ironic, comedic and sometimes philosophical and, as usual, a masterclass in delivery and individual performance’ (FringeReview.co.uk).
