The Book of Will, by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Carin Bratlie Wethern
About The Book of Will:
Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Hamlet. And without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever. After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book Of Will finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, shedding new light on a man you may think you know.
