The Book of Will
by Lauren Gunderson
Previews: July 28-29
Aug 4-5, 11-12, 18-20 at 7 pm
Shakespeare is dead, and his legacy is at stake. After his friends see a dreadful production of Hamlet with misquotes and improvising abound, they are determined to preserve their friend Will’s words for generations to come. The Book of Will follows his friends as they have to beg, borrow, and band together to compile his plays before they are forgotten. It's a true story full of love, loss, and laughter on the 400th anniversary of the First Folio.
