Synopsis

Greg Driscoll has moved to the Essex coast, a small town called Maldon - much to his agent's consternation, it being the scene of a great loss for them both. Greg has had enough of London, though and wants some peace and quiet - and a good pub. He is asked to contribute to a local festival by producing an open-air Shakespeare play and, much against his will, he agrees - mostly to please the rather attractive Town Clerk. However, when one of his cast members dies unexpectedly he becomes embroiled in a long-running feud that leads him back to The Netherlands and people from the past he thought he'd seen the back of.

À propos de l'auteur

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Barrie Jaimeson was born in Leicester a long time ago. Having dabbled in various folk bands on the East Midlands circuit, Barrie went off to London to train as a classical actor at The Webber Douglas Academy. On leaving Drama School he went straight to the Young Vic in London working with Michael Bogdanov. This was followed by seasons and tours with the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park and two years at The Old Vic playing Mole in Toad of Toad Hall. Shakespeare features heavily in Barrie’s career having played Feste, Puck, Macduff and many other parts for major theatres across the country. Television appearances include ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ with Peter Cushing, ‘Bergerac’ with John Nettles, The Bill, Albion Market, and several others productions, as well as a number of TV commercials. Film credits include ‘A Kind of Hush’ Barrie can be heard on several Shakespeare Productions for Naxos Audiobooks appearing alongside Kenneth Branagh, Timothy West, Sam West, Celia Imrie, Geraldine McEwan and many more illustrious names. Following many years treading the boards across the country Barrie settled down in Maldon where, as well as continuing to appear in stage, television and radio productions, he formed macTheatre with his wife, actress Nicola Esson, devising and performing numerous shows based around themes – Christmas, Burns, love and World War 2 to name but a few. macTheatre’s first production was Barrie’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ ‘The Chimes’ which played in Maldon before transferring to The White Bear in London. In 2002 macTheatre was asked to produce an open-air production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Maldon’s Promenade Park and they produced a Shakespeare in the Park production annually for the next ten years.
