Dedication

Patron? Collaborator? Employer? Voyeur? Lover?

Questioned about the nature of his relationship with the 3rd Earl of Southampton, William Shakespeare is on trial.

The evidence: tender poems, financial dependency, attempted revolution.

A compelling new drama set in Elizabethan England - a powder keg of sex, politics and power - Dedication by Nick Dear premiered at the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, in September 2016.
