Mar. 14 - Mar. 30
Step into the passionate, hilarious, and chaotic world of young William Shakespeare in this captivating stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning film! “Shakespeare in Love” tells the story of Will Shakespeare, a struggling playwright who’s desperate for inspiration and suffering from a severe case of writer’s block. With creditors chasing him and his producer pressuring him, he begins work on his latest play, Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter — a story that is going nowhere fast.
Everything changes when he meets Viola de Lesseps, a noblewoman with a dream of the stage and a rebellious heart. As Viola disguises herself as a man to join Will’s cast, the two find themselves entangled in a secret and forbidden romance that inspires one of the greatest love stories ever written, Romeo and Juliet.
Filled with mistaken identities, bawdy humor, and the sheer magic of the theater, “Shakespeare in Love” is a joyous tribute to love, art, and the timeless power of storytelling.
