As previously reported by the Daily Mail, Roger Rees is bringing his one-man show What You Will about Shakespeare to the West End's Apollo on Shaftesbury Avenue tonight, September 18 to October 6.

"I thought: how can I make it different?" Rees told the Mail's Baz Bamigboye. "So I've made it hilarious…It's an irreverent evening that takes the fear out of Shakespeare."
