The Standard Bearer

In Stephan Wyatt’s The Standard Bearer, a seasoned theater trooper (Neil Dickson) takes Shakespeare on the road to local communities in Africa and is forced to confront his very existence. "Wyatt’s monologue is a brilliant short story – intelligently written, insightful, humorous (and often hilarious), sometimes quirky; often profound." Julian Sands, recently acclaimed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for his one-man show celebrating writer Harold Pinter (directed by John Malkovich), directs Neil Dickson (Harold Ford on Mad Men), bringing The Standard Bearer to life.
