Heart Productions

Written by Frank Bramwell

Time Out of Joint is the 4th Heart Productions play to be performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. It is the story of the love triangle between Shakespeare and two of his most famous muses, Katherine Hamnet (a woman who fell into the Avon River and died, believed to be the inspiration for Ophelia in Hamlet) and the Dark Lady, to whom the Sonnets 127-152 are addressed. Time Out of Joint merges fiction and fact to explore the inspiration behind some of English literature's greatest works, and the fascinating life of their creator.

"An absolute must-see for any Shakespeare fan or writer who’s ever had an encounter with writer’s block."

"What this play is very good at doing is raising an intrigued eyebrow. It constantly suggests possible inspirations for moments of Shakespeare's plots (I think all from 'Hamlet') and even certain turns of phrase."
