Shakespeare, His Wife and The Dog, written by Philip Whitchurch, performed by Philip Whitchurch and Sally Edwards. It’s an hour long piece, that consists of both Shakespeare and his wife having a conversation about their son, Hamlet that had passed, the dog, which had also passed 5 months ago and the plays that William wrote. 

Throughout the play, you come to realise that William’s wife has some form of mental illness which prevents her from being able to remember things that she is being told, old conversations and memories. One of the main feelings I had felt was that Shakespeare’s wife had lost herself after the death of her son, Hamlet. 

From my perspective, the play had a “play-within-a-play” element because William often recited parts of the plays he was writing- acting within acting.

The play was naturalistic in some ways; however, it was easy to tell that there were more Brecht-ian influences as the actors often addressed the audience (breaking the fourth wall) which also allowed them to come out of character to add side-notes. Despite those few moments I could tell the characters were mainly influenced by Stanislavsky: incorporating their own emotions into the character, allowing them to merge to the character. You couldn't tell they were characters, I personally felt like I was actually watching a couple argue - just on a stage...

Props wise, they didn't really use many, which I though was quite nice, I felt a lot closer to the characters, allowing me to relate more towards them. They simply had a box filled with William’s play - which were all spilled out and a stool, big enough for the both of them. They also included a small box, which was found within the bigger box - this is were he kept a doll and a top that belonged to Hamlet.

Overall, I believe that the piece was very smartly written and that it was very well set out. However, if I were to do it any differently, I would of included something more: music, as an example.
