HEMINGS & CONDELL - PART ONE The Midweek Drama
-
- Drama
John Hemings (1566-1630) and Henry Condell (1576-1627) are two names that you may not recognise but are two names that are fundamentally responsible for Shakespeare's surviving works.
Together they collated the great bard's plays into the very first folio in 1623, 7 years after the death of William Shakespeare.
Now 400 years later, Bamalam Productions are delighted to bring Martin Keady's version of events to life in this two-part story covering the lives of two of history's overlooked heroes.
In Part One, we follow Hemings and Condell through their days as players, meeting a little unknown playwright called Will and as they fight to cement their place as thespians and erect a theatre that would become a beacon of light in a country infested with plague and treasonous murmurings...
