Shakespeare in Love - The Play
Shakespeare in Love
By Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard adapted for the stage by Lee Hall
Will Shakespeare has a new play… although he’s yet to write any of the words. Obstructed by writer’s block, Will struggles to find the words he needs for his new epic: Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate’s Daughter. Viola De Lesseps longs to be an actor… unfortunately, women are forbidden to be on stage. Beholden to her father’s (and the Queen’s) expectations, she disguises herself as a boy and auditions for Will’s new play. The chance encounter between the two becomes the inspiration for one of the greatest love stories ever told.
