The Coup de Théâtre theatre company in Périgueux presents ‘L'Autre William’ (The Other William), a play by Jaime Salom, directed by Roland Escalmel.
This work, which combines comedy and tragedy, tackles a literary enigma with erudition and humour.
"Did Shakespeare William, an actor by trade, write the immortal works we know, or was there another William? Sir William Stanley, for example, who devoted himself to playwriting. Harassed by his sister-in-law, who hates him, and his wife, who cheats on him, William needs Shakespeare the actor to perform his plays. As for Mary, the young maid, she needs both of them, and even a third, Costrand, William's faithful valet."
The evening is organised
