Two actors will hand out cake to celebrate the birthday of the bard ahead of the gala premiere of a production celebrating his famous plays this weekend. 

Felt Tip Theatre Company’s director Alex Robson and actor Nick Sinclair, pictured,  are behind the two-man production of A Short Guide to Shakespeare. 

Robson said they had put together the show quite quickly and Easter had been a whirlwind of preparations. 

The production will touch on the “facts and fictions” about Shakespeare’s life and his plays.
