Vermont Repertory Theatre To Bring SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE To The Isham Barn
Real-life couple Connor Kendall and Merrill Cameron star in Lee Hall's stage adaptation with performances starting June 10.
Vermont Repertory Theatre will transform the Isham Family Farm for a limited run of the romantic comedy, Shakespeare in Love. This production will feature real-life couple Connor Kendall and Merrill Cameron in the leading roles, who met in the Vermont Theater scene.
Based on the 1998 Academy Award-winning film written by Tom Stoppard and adapted for the stage by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot), the play follows a young William Shakespeare.
Mired in writer's block and under pressure to deliver a hit, Will finds his muse in Viola de Lesseps, a noblewoman who defies the law and disguises herself as a man to pursue her passion for acting. Viola's secret affair with the playwright ultimately inspires the creation of his greatest masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet.
The performance will open on June 10 and run for ten performances at the Isham Family Farm in Wilson VT. Pricing is $30 for General Admission, $25 for Seniors and $20 for Students. All tickets can be purchased on the Vermont Rep website.
