Torrent description

Saturday Play: The Late Mr Shakespeare 01-11-2008

By Robert Nye, dramatised by Jonathan Broadbent.

Pickleherring, a former boy actor in Shakespeare's company, reminisces from the vantage point of old age on his time spent with The Bard. As he finally finds love with a prostitute named Polly, the lessons he learned from Shakespeare finally start to become clear.

From The Radio Times

Jim Broadbent turns in the best performance of any radio drama thus far this year as an ageing actor, known as Pickleherring, who claims to have been hired as a child by Shakespeare. It's a bawdy romp through the Bard's life that throws up some hitherto unimagined episodes that seem deliciously possible. Adapted from Robert Nye's brilliant novel, this screams "quality" - in the style of Lady Macbeth in her nightdress.

-- Jane Anderson
