About the show
After Shakespeare is a solo theatre show by Slade Wolfe Enterprises Limited, performed at Theatre 1 as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Lexi Wolfe transforms into four distinct Shakespearean characters — Lady Macbeth, Portia, Hamlet and King Hal (Henry V) — to explore what happens to them after the curtain falls. Wolfe weaves together Shakespeare's words, historical research and her own dramatic writing to follow their onward journeys. The show runs for 60 minutes, carries a warning for distressing themes, and is suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
A thoughtful, shape-shifting solo show that finds fresh life in Shakespeare's most familiar characters. Lexi Wolfe's ability to transform between four distinct voices in 60 minutes is the real draw — intimate, intelligent drama.
