Here’s something that could be very funny – or a total disaster (I’m hoping the former.) Next up is The Lost Works’ production of The Lost Musical Works of Willy Shakes, at the Assembly Rooms – Front Room, at 22:40 on Tuesday 20th. Here’s the blurb: “It’s 1616. Shakespeare and his Fair Youth – bent on being remembered through the annals of history – have set about spicing up his plays with one missing ingredient: showstopping musical numbers. Creators Guy Hughes and Joe Leather bring a wealth of Bardy experience, including The RSC, The Globe, and of course The Best of George Michael. Straight outta Stratford with a noughties pop twist, join The Bard for busting tunes, scandalous backstories and hot Tudor gossip. Think Flight of the Conchords with an Elizabethan makeover: two bawdy bros in doublet and hose.”

Is this our third, or fourth show to spoof Shakespeare so far this week? I’ve lost count. Don’t know much about this one, so it’s a fingers crossed punt, but often they’re the best. Check back around midnight to see how good it was. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

Sometimes all the elements of a show come together and create something that’s 100% joy. If you love your Shakespeare and your musical parodies, this is utter genius. Would happily see it again tomorrow night!
