Community Shakespeare, Wirral concluded with a fantastic performance of The Winter's Tale and you can read all about it in this blog post:
The show was an astounding success, thrilling audiences and bringing enormous pride to everyone involved in the project. “Remarkable…a fantastic ensemble piece and great team effort of which all involved should be justifiably proud,” Liverpool Daily Post. Directed by Brookside’s Neil Caple and starring twenty-eight members of the local community, with Coronation Street’s Pauline Fleming as Paulina, the cast and crew staged an unforgettable show.

It is estimated that more than 1500 people saw the performances in the “fabulous setting” of Birkenhead Park. Free tickets and huge involvement by the local community - in the cast and crew - plus some big names, meant that The Reader Organisation’s aim to make Shakespeare more accessible to people in the wider community has been realised.
