Follow on Google News | Shakespeare backs 50 Shades of Grey TourA night out with Mr Gray a new tour in Stratford upon Avon, home of the Bard
Shakespeare is the face of Stratford and since October that face has been actor Kingsley Glover. In playing the role of Shakespeare, Kingsley has become an expert, and he thinks that the Bard would highly approve of this latest venture. Speaking in role as Shakespeare (as he now always insists) "I think this is a great idea. Of course, Fifty Shades of Grey actually takes ideas and themes from my plays. Just look at 'Taming of the Shew'. In that play Petruchio takes Kate, and dominates her until she submits. I even hint towards something like this in 'Much Ado About Nothing', which is interesting as Meera Syal is currently playing the role of Beatrice at the RSC. She spends the whole play bantering with Benedick only to submit to him at the end. Benedick say's "Peace I will stop your mouth", kisses her and she doesn't talk again. Like my plays, this tour is a bit of fun, and as Stratford already attracts a few hen parties it seems a good idea to build on this market. I am looking forward to it. Just don't tell Anne Hathaway. Any man who thinks they have got what it takes to bring this tour to life should send their CV to info@falstaffexperience.co.uk .
