Shakespeare and Co at The Mudlark

Helen Herman (Mildew) and and Vanessa Hammick (Sinclair)

This is Shakespeare on the move for, although the performance starts at the Mudlark pub behind Southwark Cathedral, the audience is required to walk to five locations. The walk is in 17th-century London so the crowd is reminded to turn mobiles off as they won't work. The view from the riverside is of London Bridge crowded with houses.

Between banter and confessions of love and crossdressing, three actresses perform snatches of Julius Caesar, a Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. The Golden Hinde is the backdrop for The Tempest.

Amy Coates (Christobel)

The 'guides' are Mildew (Helen Herman in her second season), Sinclair (Vanessa Hammick) and Christobel (Amy Coates). All are very versatile, happy to fall on the road whatever the weather and show huge staminer.

This show, which deserves to succeed, is an impressive contribution to Bankside's growing arts programme.
