HISTORIAN Lesley Smith is bringing the wife of William Shakespeare to life at a show in Lichfield.

An Evening with Mistress Shakespeare will weave her way through the world of Anne Hathaway at The Tudor of Lichfield on Bore Street on 12th February.

A spokesperson said:

> “Anne Hathaway, wife of William Shakespeare, is a fascinating character as so little is known about her – but there are intriguing nuggets of fact to explore.  
>  
> “Lesley cleverly weaves her way through the facts filled in with wonderfully colourful imagery of what life was like for the middling classes at this time.”

Doors open for a welcome drink at 6.15pm before the performance at 7pm. A buffet supper will also take place at 8pm.

The show is suitable for over 18s only. Tickets can be booked [online](https://www.skiddle.com/e/41928920?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
