I am Shakespeare. Emilia Lanier is Shakespeare. Kit Marlowe is Shakespeare.  Ben Johnson is Shakespeare. My Lord, the Earl of Oxford is Shakespeare. We art all Shakespeare.

Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke is hosting a St Cecilia’s Day concert at Wilton, her grand country estate on the river Avon. As Patroness she is obliged to host but she’s feeling a little distracted – she really wants to return to her writers’ circle where they are working on their next “Shakespeare” play.  

In this costumed production, Josie and the Emeralds perform music by William Lawes, William Byrd, Tobias Hume, J.S.Bach and Brooke Green, including the premiere of her setting of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 105: Fair, Kind and True.
