Shakespeare Rattle and Roll

Event information

Shakespeare Rattle and Roll!
Shakespeare at the Vic! This funny and fast- moving solo show looks at the the life, loves and language of Shakespeare, through famous renditions of his speeches, sonnets and, in particular, his songs.The songs have been re-set in more contemporary music styles such as Dylan, Elvis, and The Beatles.
Shakespeare, Rattle and Roll! is written and performed by Martin Dimery, who is a regular at the Vic when impersonating "John Lennon" in Sgt. Pepper's Only Dart Board Band. Martin was originally an actor, and has appeared on stage and TV. He has written commercially published plays, and his book about life on the road with Sgt. Pepper's Only Dart Board Band called "Being John Lennon" remains the only biography of a tribute band ever published. The Vic hosts the premier of Shakespeare Rattle and Roll prior to a residency at Stratford on Avon and theatre tour.
