Draw your quills, sharpen your wits and polish your pickaxes for the knock-down, drag-out, take no prisoners, Great Shakespeare Showdown in Silver City.
The tale unfolds in the Fall of 1882 in Leadville, Colorado. And while the play is fictional, the setting is not. In the 19th century this real-life US silver mining community was so mad about Shakespeare that even the mines were named after his plays and characters.
Pictured are actors Mel Schaffer as Billy D Holcombe (front), with Kate Poling as Harriet Twelvetrees and Dan Morrison as Charles Goodknight (correct).
