Hopes and dreams are dangerous things ...
1601. William Shakespeare wakes up in an Elizabethan madhouse where he has been interned along with characters from his plays. They jostle with musicians, dancers and aspiring actors. Can art rescue them all from insanity? Or are all artists bound for Bedlam?
The Tragickal Medickall Historie of William Shakespeare, Bard of Bedlam, was produced twice. It was Stepping Out's fifth large scale production and was originally an event for World Mental Health Day in 2001.
