Friended by Shakespeare
Written and Performed by Charles David Richards
This one act, one man play is about a little known member of William Shakespeare’s acting companies between the years of 1592 and 1612. A Player named Jon Sincler, sometimes referred to by Shakespeare as Sinklo, was it seems a friend of the playwright, with roles in many of his plays but never a Sharer in the Company. Not much is known about him but the play gives the character Jon Sincler the chance to explain himself, as he shares what he is about to do to pay tribute to his friend, William Shakespeare.

Mrs. Shakespeare: Will’s First & Last Love
Written, compiled and performed by Yvonne Hudson
Setting: The Shakespeare’s home, New Place, in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire and the memory of Anne Hathaway Shakespeare
Mining the new and old biography of William Shakespeare and his works to discover, explore, and share how the life of the world's preeminent playwright can be revealed in his own words. Sonnets, songs and soliloquies are woven into Yvonne Hudson's original script to share Anne Shakespeare's story of the trials and triumphs with and without William.
"A love poem...As Anne Hathaway, Yvonne Hudson molded a tender character of nobility and courage out of history’s fragmentary knowledge about Shakespeare’s other half.”–The Off-Off-Broadway Review on run at Tribeca Playhouse, New York
