The complete works of Shakespeare's deaths

Thirty stabbings, five beheadings... and one person ripped apart by a mob. In total, Shakespeare's plays feature 74 on-stage deaths; and now they'll all be performed in one show.

Warning - this report by our Entertainment Correspondent, Colin Paterson, does contain a lot of bloodshed.

"The Complete Deaths" is a tribute to the Bard on the 400th anniversary of his death. It will feature just four actors - that's 18 and a half deaths each.
