The sonnet walk brought the work of Shakespeare to the streets of Liverpool in 2008. The weekend of performances was directed by Abigail Anderson who has now produced two consecutive years of innovative theatre on the streets of the city. The 2008 event was brought to a close at the Albert Docks with audience members were able to leave their feedback for the company and actors. Here is a selection of what they said:

Exciting, engaging, brilliant ideas, great actors, lots of fun – this is the way all Shakespeare should feel – accessible & relatable.

Highly enjoyable, children could relate to the emotions expressed, lovely tour of the city and its architecture – many thanks.

Brilliant. I have lived near Liverpool all my life and did not know half the things I found out today. Well done everyone!

A really special event, full of fun and surprises.

This was absolutely fantastic! A lovely experience for families, couples, single people and groups. Funny and touching and moving. Top class acting, informative directions and just good fun for everybody. Brilliant.

I thought it was an original and inspiring piece of theatre.

Really refreshing to see a different take on Shakespeare.

Educational, inspirational and exciting. I will never look at Liverpool in the same way again. Loved it!

It was fantastic. Impeccably researched, organized, written. The city never looked better.

Such a closeness with people and events doesn’t often happen in real life.

We loved the pleasant, artful blend of poems and the surroundings old and contemporary.

Moving, inspiring and memorable.

Really enjoyed it, loved the way people jumped out of their surroundings… I began to
suspect everyone was about to recite me a Sonnet.
