Shakespeare team look ahead to crime writing festival

The team at Little Gargoyle will bring Morecambe’s first ever crime writing festival to town hot on the heels of last week’s successful Bard by the Beach event. Their four-day Shakespeare festival, subnamed ‘Once more unto the beach, dear friends’, included three nights of Antony and Cleopatra at the Winter Gardens, a sold-out A Midsummer Night’s Dream murder mystery dinner at the Midland and a series of Shakepeare-themed shows at Morecambe Library.

Now after packing up their period costumes for another year, the Little Gargoyle team will begin planning ‘Morecambe and Vice’, to be held at the Winter Gardens 
on September 30 and October 1.

This will include writing masterclasses and panel discussions with 17 leading crime novellists.
