The Book of Will at Wright-Curtis Theatre

By Lauren Gunderson

Directed by Tony F. Sias, 2025-2026 Roe Green Visiting Director

Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like “Romeo and Juliet.” But 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.

"The Book of Will" is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service. www.dramatists.com
