Time Out of Joint
Written by Frank Bramwell
ABOUT THE PLAY
Will Shakespeare is alone, desperately trying to finalise the script of Hamlet. During the long night-time hours, he has two female visitors; one is the Dark Lady of his sonnets, the other is a 'mere milkmaid' who was his first ever love. These muses provide him with rather more dramatic inspiration than he bargains for . . .

Reviews
“If you want to get an inside look at the trouble and turmoil swirling around in William Shakespeare’s head, look no further than the brilliantly conceived Time out of Joint premiering at the Edinburgh Festival.”
Edinburgh Guide Review
“An absolute must-see for any Shakespeare fan or writer who’s ever had an encounter with writer’s block.”
Edinburgh Guide Review
"'Time Out Of Joint' is at its best when Will is trying to write and the women fight around him - it borders on farce, and brilliantly so.”
Fringe Review
“What this play is very good at doing is raising an intrigued eyebrow. It constantly suggests possible inspirations for moments of Shakespeare's plots (I think all from 'Hamlet') and even certain turns of phrase.”
