About the show
After Shakespeare is a solo theatrical show performed at the Annexe by Lexi Wolfe, presented by Slade Wolfe Enterprises Limited. The show asks what happens to Shakespeare's heroes and villains once the curtain falls — Lady Macbeth, Portia, Hamlet and King Hal reflect on power, love and survival beyond the endings we think we know. Lexi Wolfe transforms seamlessly between four iconic characters, weaving Shakespeare's language with historical insight and fresh dramatic imagination. Witty, poignant and surprising, it is a thoughtful celebration of voice and consequence. The show runs for 60 minutes; tickets are £13.
Why see this show?
Four Shakespearean icons — Lady Macbeth, Portia, Hamlet and King Hal — get to speak beyond the final scene. Witty, poignant and inventive solo theatre that takes Shakespeare's language somewhere genuinely new.
