The show is revived in a new production which opens in Bath this week. Shakespeare in Love is an adaptation of Tom Stoppard's hit film, about Shakespeare, who has writer's block and a deadline approaching for his new play.

Lee Hall's adaptation originally opened in the West End in 2014. The film starred Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow and Judi Dench.

The revival cast includes Pierro Niel-Mee as William Shakespeare with Imogen Daines as Viola, Rob Edwards as Fennyman, Geraldine Alexander as the Queen, Edmund Kingsley as Kit Marlowe, Bill Ward as Wessex, Ian Hughes as Henslowe, Giles Taylor as Tilney and De Lesseps, Edward Harrison as Burbage and Philip Labey as Sam.
