Simon Callow is one of those people you have seen in dozens of films and plays but whose name, for whatever reason, has not been particularly memorable. Being Shakespeare changes that, as Simon Callow brings to life before your eyes some of Shakespeares most memorable characters as well as the bard himself. It's a one man show with added appeal as a prelude to the World Shakespeare Festival, which starts in Stratford upon Avon next month. Ahead of that, Simon Callow is off to tour his one man show in Chicago and New York.
