“The UK cast of William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) — James Percy, Joe Maudsley, and Matt Pearson — reflect on the craziness of the opening performances of this 50-city tour, and discuss the process of taking LongLostShakes out of the rehearsal hall and in front of an audience. Featuring the perils of forgetting your lines in iambic pentameter, knowing all the wrong Shakespeare, the Great British Trouser Incident, a shout-out to ASM Jessica Rice, ideas for re-doing our poster, second night letdowns, the pleasures of benign bullying, and confessions of screwing up one of the most famous lines in English literature. “More Bard For Your Buck!” Recorded live at Norden Farm in Maidenhead.
