The Academy award-winning film comes to the stage in this boisterous romantic comedy about the bard.
A broken quill and a brave heart prove they can change history with this witty, romantic, and wildly theatrical journey into the heart of creativity.
Young Will Shakespeare is stuck — until he meets Viola De Lesseps, a bold dreamer who defies the rules of Elizabethan England to chase her passion for acting. As Viola disguises herself to take the stage, and Will rewrites his play from pirate comedy to tragic romance, their forbidden love sparks the creation of one of the greatest love stories ever told, Romeo and Juliet.
With mistaken identities, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, this show is brim full of passion, love and laughter.
