There are 75 onstage deaths in the works of William Shakespeare.
From the Roman suicides in Julius Caesar to the death fall of Prince Arthur in King John; from the carnage at the end of Hamlet to snakes in a basket in Antony And Cleopatra. And then there’s the pie in Titus Andronicus.
Spymoneky return to the Royal & Derngate in Northampton from Monday to Wednesday October 17-19.
All of the deaths – sometimes lingeringly, sometimes messily, sometimes movingly, sometimes musically, but always hysterically will be presented.
