| Synopsis: | 'Ghosts of New Place' is a new play by actor and dramatist Robert Mansell. It is based on tragic and scandalous events in Shakespeare's house in Stratford-upon-Avon that become significant influences on the writing of 'Hamlet'. A haunting tale of murder, fraud and scandal, with its roots in historical fact about the three families that lived consecutively at New Place - the Botts, Underhills and Shakespeares. The play dramatises real and imagined events at the great manor house in which Shakespeare lived from 1597 until he died in 1616. The tragedies in the lives of the residents intertwine with their ghosts and help shape the fate of one Shakespeare's best known tragic heroes. 'Ghosts of New Place' requires a medium sized cast and a theatre with excellent lighting resources. | |||||
