Christopher Rush enthralled audiences at last year's festival when he spoke about his forthcoming book Will - a fictional biography of Shakespeare. We know so few actual facts about the Bard that he was free to imagine a vibrant, exhilarating life for him. Since then the book's been published and enjoyed superb reviews far and wide. Rush returns to the East Neuk Festival to give a talk about Shakespeare, and also to pen a script himself - one which will link the excerpts from Mendelssohn's music to A Midsummer Nights Dream.
