The Legacy of William Ireland

2nd August 2019 - 26th August 2019

Following the success at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe with the five star show “After Today”, Stage D’Or returns with their latest work from acclaimed playwright Tim Connery.

William relates the improbable but true story about how he managed to not only improve on some of Shakespeare’s works (giving them a happy ending) but also forge a brand new Shakespeare play, causing riots and the near-destruction of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane – which of course was not his fault.
