The World Stage Stage Series continues with Sweet William, Michael Pennington’s large-spirited, one-man show—an homage to Shakespeare that looks at his life and his work, side-by-side. Part biography, part analysis and part performance, Sweet William reflects on Pennington’s long international experience as a leading Shakespearean actor—a career that has spanned more than 40 years, with leading roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and his own award-winning English Shakespeare Company. Having spent over 20,000 hours onstage performing Shakespeare, Pennington sets out to celebrate the life and work of this global cultural icon.
