An RSC commission to commemorate the first celebration of
Shakespeare's life and works A mischievous satire on the foundation of
the Shakespeare industry: In 1769, when David Garrick staged the first
theatre festival to celebrate the life of Stratford's most famous son,
little did he realise the impact it would have on the future
livelihood of the small Warwickshire market town. Peter Barnes' ironic
and irreverent new comedy dissects the cult of the theatrical
personality, with guest appearances from the Bard himself, Ben Jonson,
David Garrick, Samuel Johnson, Sir Peter Hall and Peter Barnes."Peter
Barnes is one of the unrecognised geniuses of the English theatre"
