Fair Em

by Phil Willmott (Adapter), William Shakespeare

Following acclaimed productions of Shakespeare obscurities Double Falsehood and King John, Phil Willmott returns to the Union Theatre with Fair Em. Whether it's a Shakespeare collaboration or not, this rollicking romantic comedy plucked from the Shakespeare Apocrypha should brighten up anyone's winter blues. With a host of colourful characters, a riot of mistaken identity and all the joys and perils of young love, this delightful romp through high and low society, town and country, England and Denmark, culminates in a finale every bit as pleasing and problematic as anything in the acknowledged Shakespeare canon.
