Shakespeare Live's 2026 autumn tour is a compilation of scenes, sonnets and lines from 30 different works, all focusing on jealousy or envy.

 

The play, devised and directed by Gill Morrell, is in the same style as previous autumn tour shows such as 'This Rough Magic', 'Seven Ages' and 'The Rain it Raineth'.

 

Performance dates this year will be:
Sat 17 Oct       The Rondo, Bath             

Sun 18 Oct      The Wharf, Devizes            

Wed 21 Oct    Marden Centre, Calne       

Thurs 22 Oct   Town Hall, Corsham          

Fri 23 Oct        Merlin Theatre, Frome       

Sat 24 Oct       The Cause, Chippenham   
 

There will be an ensemble cast, onstage throughout, taking multiple roles and also speaking the linking lines as the play moves between different types of jealousy and envy. The main scenes are a mix of tragedy and comedy, including substantial sections from Twelfth Night, Two Noble Kinsmen, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, The Taming of the Shrew, Antony and Cleopatra, The Merchant of Venice, The Comedy of Errors  and A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as extracts from Othello, Hamlet, King Lear, As You Like It, three sonnets, and many more ... all adding up to an entertainment lasting around 100 minutes.
 

We are looking for a cast of between 10 and 12 with a mix of ages and genders. Rehearsals will start in May / June, depending on availability, but main focus will be in August, September and October. The rehearsal venues will be in Wiltshire, either at the directors home in Winsley or

The Royal Oak in Corsham. Days and dates will be agreed with the cast.
