THE Shakespeare Revue, a comic concoction of hilarious sketches and show-stopping numbers written by comedy icons Victoria Wood, Alan Bennett, Maureen Lipman, Monty Python, Noël Coward, Cole Porter, Fry and Laurie and musical theatre favourites, Stephen Sondheim, Stiles and Drewe and many more, comes to Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, August 30.

With contributions from more than 40 writers, this words-and-music celebration gathers together some of the finest comic material inspired by William Shakespeare. Originally produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, The Shakespeare Revue first premiered at the Barbican Theatre in 1994 where it received rapturous critical and public acclaim prompting a West End transfer to the Vaudeville Theatre.

Multiple Olivier award-winning producer Kenny Wax says: "In 1994 my producer friend Edward Snape asked me to book some dates for The Shakespeare Revue - a show that he was touring at the time. I fell in love with the performances, the sketches, the wonderful music and the sheer unadulterated fun that emanated from the stage. I'm delighted to be presenting the show with Cambridge Arts Theatre this time with a fresh, updated new version."

The Shakespeare Revue will be at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, August 30 to Saturday, September 3. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
