Shakespeare’s Singing Advent Calendar is here to help you through the darkest days of the year with a reminder that spring is round the corner. Open today’s door and feel your heart warmed by ‘It Was a Lover and his Lass’ which was written by William Shakespeare for As You Like It. This unique performance comes from the cupboard under the stairs at Shakespeare’s Birthplace and is part of our musical countdown to Christmas. In-house actors Richard Bunn, Martin Smith and Jen Stone do the singing, playing and not quite kissing.
