The English Nationality Room at the Cathedral of Learning and Britsburgh will host Yvonne Hudson from 2 to 4 p.m. May 16 for a performance of her one-woman play, “Mrs. Shakespeare.”
Hudson has perform the show about the life of Anne Hathaway, William Shakespeare's wife, about 100 times, including at the Tower of London. The Tudor-Gothic English Nationality Room is an apt setting for the play, which weaves sonnets, soliloquies and songs from 30 of Shakespeare’s works with an intimate account of their marriage. Hudson’s original script depicts the highs and lows of the Shakespeares’ life together and apart — including their rollicking courtship and Anne’s discovery that Will has been unfaithful to her while working in London.
Guests are invited to join Hudson and other members of the English Nationality Room Committee immediately after the performance in the Braun Room on the 12th floor of the Cathedral of Learning for complimentary refreshments provided by Feast on Brilliant and to learn about the work of the English Nationality Room and how they can get involved.
