Our Campaign Ambassador - Ken Ludwig

We are honoured that Ken Ludwig - the world’s most-performed living playwright and a long-standing supporter of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust - has agreed to serve as Ambassador for the Hall’s Croft campaign.

Ken’s commitment to Shakespearean heritage is both personal and profound. His generosity has already made a significant impact on the conservation of Hall’s Croft, helping to launch earlier phases of essential work. His advocacy brings international attention to the urgency of safeguarding this remarkable Jacobean home.

As Campaign Ambassador, Ken champions the importance of preserving places that keep Shakespeare’s story alive - not only for scholars and theatre-makers, but for families, visitors, and future generations who deserve to experience these spaces first-hand.

His leadership reflects the global significance of Hall’s Croft and underscores why this conservation effort matters now more than ever.
