William Sutton's 55-minute one-man whizz through Shakespeare's 154 sonnets (all of which he's memorised) reveal his obvious passion for the 16th-century bard. The show takes the audience on a journey through the pain and euphoria of love, the life of Shakespeare and Sutton's own relationship with the series of 14-line poems which he first encountered in an Amsterdam coffeeeshop. The event kicks off the Amsterdam Literary Festival closing party and ticket price includes entrance for the whole night. Reservations can be made via www.amsterdamliteraryfestival.com or by calling Pip on (020) 420 6775.
