Boy My Greatness

Boy My Greatness: a play by Zoe Senese-Grossberg

Produced by Junior Co-Directors from The University of Central Oklahoma; Maggie Lawson and Liberty Welch

What happened to the boys who played Shakespeare's women? In the summer of 1606, six boy players warm up, run lines, gossip, and fall in and out of love all in between rehearsals for the premieres of Antony and Cleopatra and Twelfth Night. As the plague and rising religious conservatism threaten their way of life, they are all forced to reconsider their futures on the stage. A play about growing up, gender, and a chapter of theater history we seek to forget.

Content Warning: This play features mature themes including discussions of transphobia, suicide, and child abuse.

Run Time: 90 Mins to 2 Hours

Starring: Jenni Dibler, Leah Rule, Kynzee Terrell, Jett King, Bella Shiplett, Trevor Pratt
