🌟 Last night's Medieval Banquet was the second of the week!! You all keep coming back, so it must be worth it!! A four course medieval feast, with entertainment throughout - who could resist?

πŸ’« This is the team from last night's festivities. They entertained you with comedy and song, taking you back to the year 1595 and accompanying the food which was prepared for you!

🎭 "Where the place? Henley Street" 🎭

🏰 That's where you met Lady Macbeth last weekend! This was a piece of Street Theatre to celebrate Shakespeare Week - this intrepid team of actors turned the front of Shakespeare's Birthplace into Glamis Castle to tell you the story of Lady Macbeth.

✨ Macbeth, one of the most famous characters in Shakespeare's canon, became nothing more than a supporting character in this version, where you could watch Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth's journey through the play, from receiving her husband letter, filled with excitement, all the way through to the end of her life.

🌟 These four actors did an amazing job, with Kaylie in the title role for you, Owain in the usual title role and Chris and Bethany playing everyone else!!!

❀️ Putting this together for you was a real labour of love, from editing the script, through rehearsal and bringing it to performance. Here at EFH bespoke entertainment is a major part of the skill set, and so if you have a wood idea that needs bringing to life, why don't you get in touch?

🌟 It's so lovely to get a thank you 🌟

🎀 Back in February it was a real honour to act as Celebrant and Toastmaster for the lovely Bec and Harry. Their slightly unconventional wedding was a wonderful day sorry with wonderful people - and it was an absolute joy to receive this card in the post this week.

✨ Bec wrote: James,
We just can't say thank you enough!.
We were able to rely on you, you delievered the most beautiful ceremony and you kept things on schedule during our reception (you even endured a small amount of drama...) THANK YOU.
Having you running our day put our minds at ease, It meant we could relax and enjoy every second.
Everyone loved you too!
One last BiG thankyou.
Bec and Harry x

🧑 Honestly it was a real pleasure. So happy to have been able to help!! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!!

❀️ If you are planning a wedding, and feel like you could do with some help - you know what to do!! Send a DM!

🌟March Madness!🌟

πŸ’« Here's the lowdown for you on our March projects - quite a lot happened behind the scenes, but here is your summary of the results!!

🏰 Of course, Coombe Abbey Hotel played host to Medieval Banquets and Murder Mystery Dinners, and we did our usual duties there as Toastmasters for weddings. Other events, such as a Silent Disco, an Elvis Tribute and a psychic medium needed an MC and James was on hand to be that host.

🎀 Also at Coombe, we debuted our new 60s and 70s vocal act which brought our usual brand of interactive, high energy fun to a birthday lunch!

πŸ’ƒπŸ» Also hosted and provided PA equipment for Amelia Fewtrill and her singing students, who had joined forces with TKT Cheerleading to showcase all of their skills in an 80s extravaganza! Proceeds of the raffle on the day went to Dear Child and Birmingham Children's Hospital.

πŸ“š Worked with Warwickshire Libraries to host a quiz all about Shakespeare at Stratford Library, and our actors played out scenes there from some of Shakespeare's finest work.

🎭 Probably the most challenging project of the month was developing and bringing to performance "Lady Macbeth" for Shakespeare Weekender on behalf of The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust . Editing Shakespeare's text down to make Macbeth no more than a supporting actor was a challenge - we also try very hard to make these fantastic old texts fun and accessible to all. We think it was a roaring success - many thanks to the actors who were so committed to the vision!!

🌼 60s and 70s 🌼

🎀 New show for you here - inspired by the 60s and 70s!

πŸ₯³ Saturday was a big day for Elaine - it was her 70th birthday lunch at Coombe Abbey Hotel. She invited 20 of her closest friends and family to come and celebrate, and wanted some entertainment too!

🧑 She and her friends took a trip down memory lane before and after dessert with songs from Elvis, The Beatles, Motown, The Kinks and many more - she also had a couple of requests which we were happy to throw in (with a bit of notice)

πŸ’ƒπŸ» Everyone was up and dancing to these amazing tracks - we had a blast! If you were interested in something similar for your big day, you should definitely get in touch!

🎭 Shakespeare Week 🎭

🌟 Final rehearsals here - getting ready to perform for you this weekend! You will be able to watch this new performance "Lady Macbeth" over the weekend outside Shakespeare's Birthplace. There are a whole host of other activities on Henley Street for you to take part in, too!

✨ We have edited, written and developed this show especially for you at Shakespeare Weekender 2025 as the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is focussing primarily on the female characters written by the Bard, and Lady Macbeth is an iconic representation of a strong woman in Shakespeare!

🏰 You should definitely come along to these daytime performances - this show will be performed for you 3 times per day over Saturday and Sunday and won't cost a penny!

🎭 Shakespeare Week 🎭

πŸ“š What a way to celebrate Shakespeare Week! A fabulous quiz on all things related to the Bard, in his home town of Stratford upon Avon! You took part in seven gruelling rounds of quite difficult questions, and you were treated to some Shakespearean performances between rounds.

🌟 Whilst we hosted this event for you, it was all on behalf of Warwickshire Libraries, and the questions were written by Dr Anjna Chouhan, who I think knows more about Shakespeare than the man himself!!

🧑 A massive thank you to the team at Stratford upon Avon library who looked after us so well and our on a great evening for you to enjoy!!

🎭 Shakespeare Week 🎭

🌟 To celebrate Shakespeare Week, the will be loads of Bard-related content for you this week - and it is impossible to ignore the relationship with The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. The actors are really looking forward to returning for Easter and the rest of the season, with some more pieces ready for you this year!

πŸ’« The focus for 2025 is Shakespeare's female characters, so you can expect to see Margaret of Anjou, Cleopatra, Lady Macbeth and many more!!

✨ Can't wait to welcome you all over the warmer summer days!!

❀️ Do you like this sort of thing? Then you know what to do!

❓ If we were to do a run of outdoor theatre this summer, would you come and see it? What would you want us to perform? Let us know πŸ‘‡πŸ»

🎭 Shakespeare Week 🎭

🌟 To celebrate Shakespeare Week, there are all manner of exciting events that you can take part in! Tomorrow evening, you can go to Stratford upon Avon library and see if you can tell your Coriolanus from your Measure for Measure at a quiz about all things Bard - related!

πŸ“Έ These pics are from a similar event last year at Rugby Library. The actors will again be returning to perform between rounds, and the event will of course be hosted by yours truly, with the questions and answers from Dr Anjna Chouhan, who wrote the questions for the Shakespeare themed Trivial Pursuit (among other really cool things)

πŸ“š Have a look at the story for details!!

🎭 It's Shakespeare Week! 🎭

🌟 This week is Shakespeare Week, and so there will be a lot of Shakespeare-related content for you here! First up for you, a throwback to last August and "The Bard's Best Bits" at the wonderful Billesley Manor.

πŸŽ‚ This was a private party for a very special birthday - and EFH was commissioned to do some bespoke entertainment for it! If you wanted something for your big day, send a DM!

πŸ“š As it's Shakespeare week, we are involved in plenty of Shakespeare - related activities such as a quiz at Stratford Library, and a very special performance on Henley Street (just outside Shakespeare's Birthplace) over the weekend.

❀️ Inspired by us! ❀️

🏰 Some time ago, visited Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford upon Avon, and was inspired to write a story based on some actors she had seen performing for you all in the garden!

πŸ“š I finished this book last night - it's a really lovely tale about two actors from different ends of the industry meeting on a lovely gig performing snippets of Shakespeare's work - just like our actors do!

🌟 If you like romance and Shakespeare, this is the book for you! A heartwarming story of two star crossed lovers and their experiences of being actors in Stratford!

🎭 It's an honour to think that the work we do has inspired something like this - thank you so much Miranda!!
