WORLD BOOK NIGHT celebrates SHAKESPEARE - the PEOPLE’S PLAYWRIGHT.

Come and celebrate with the multi-talented Passion in Practice Shakespeare Ensemble, who will be filling the foyer with close-up magic-style scenes and speeches from the plays.

They will be joined by broadcaster Sir Trevor McDonald OBE and actress June Brown MBE reading their favourite Shakespearean Sonnets, the renowned poet John Agard reading a new, specially commissioned work, and live music from the fabulous folk duo The Askew Sisters.
