David Mitchell’s Shakespearean comedy Upstart Crow will be heading back to the West End this autumn.
Starring Mitchell as the hapless Will Shakespeare and Game of Thrones actress Gemma Whelan as Kate, the proto-feminist daughter of his London landlord, the show will be opening on September 23 for ten weeks – after a 2020 run which was curtailed after a month by the pandemic but netted the show an Olivier Award nomination.
