In its current phase, Shakespeare and His Sisters on Site concentrates on two different venues: Lancaster Castle and Penshurst Place, Kent and is working with two collaborative partners: the Duchy of Lancaster and Penshurst Place.

On 16 September 2018 Dramatizing Penshurst staged the first professional production of Lady Mary Wroth’s play Love’s Victory (1617) in Baron’s Hall at Penshurst Place, funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Links to the rehearsal process with extracts of the actors working on site will soon be available on the website, followed by film from the final performance in Baron’s Hall. Be sure to join our mailing list to be first to be sent the link to watch.
