Shakespeare His Wife And The Dog at The Broad Stage

When Hamlet holds a skull on stage no one bats an eye, but when your husband comes home with a human skull rolling around his trunk and mumbles nihilistic prose to himself in the dead of night, it's a bit less romantic. This heart-warming dramedy brings to life the man behind Romeo and Juliet through the banter of an old married couple. To be or not to be married to Shakespeare is to know two different men -- the A-lister of Elizabethan London and a lost artist. During a sleepless night, the bard and his Beatrice-esque wife hash out their long-suffering partnership with smart humor, poignant reminiscing and beautiful moments. Don't worry -- your favorite lines from the poet's works make cameos and are given new meaning within the context of his life and relationship. After charming the U.K. with their original play, Bated Breath starts its American tour of Shakespeare, His Wife and the Dog at The Edye at The Broad Stage in Los Angeles.
