A show that won rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe last year is coming to the Lichfield Festival.

One-man play Shakespeare’s Fool will brought to the stage by Tortive Theatre at The Hub at St Mary’s on 8th July.

A spokesperson said:

> “Will ‘Cavaliero’ Kempe was a gentleman player, juggling jester, headmaster of Morris dancers and London’s finest clown – until he fell out with William Shakespeare.  
>  
> “Kempe died alone and poverty stricken and faded into obscurity, a world away from his former life having supposedly originated some of literature’s best-known characters, including Bottom, Dogberry, and Falstaff.  
>  
> “Join Cavaliero Kempe as he gives his final performance to an audience of a mouse and a marrote, and tells us what really happened between him and Shakespeare.”  
>  
> Lichfield Festival spokesperson

Tickets are £15 and can be booked [online](https://lichfieldfestival.org/event/shakespeares-fool/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
