A trail of clues awaits in
Lichfield
The town of Lichfield is buzzing with excitement after the discovery of a long-lost diary belonging to the legendary Shakespearean actor, David Garrick. In it, he reveals a shocking secret-The Bard wrote alternative plots for many of his famous plays, hidden away as insurance against political and religious turmoil. But now, the manuscripts are missing, and it's up to YOU to track them down!
