Shakespeare House

Date

11th October 1991

Director

Alicia Petty

This 1991 rehearsed reading of David Hare's 'Racing Demon' was performed both 'in-house' at Shakespeare House and at the Diocese of Derby Ministry Conference at the Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick, Derbyshire.

The play proved to be popular with both audiences and was chosen by the Diocese for its challenging content that deals with ethical and moral issues that were of interest to them at the time.

We hope to be able to add more information and photographs from this production soon.
