South Street

Conrad is a messenger in the plays of Shakespeare. In fact, owing to the recent spate of bad news and quick hangings, he is the only messenger left - and he wants to quit.

Aided, advised and confused by his mentor Autolycus, Conrad must deliver ALL the messages. Messages for jealous Moors, meddling priests and untamed shrews, for tragic lovers and humpy kings... Above all his job is always to say the truth, (for truth is truth, to the

end of reck'ning) and hope that they don't - 'kill the messenger'...
