An all South African production of the West End smash hit comedy SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE comes to the Fugard Theatre in 2017 with the best of this country's acting talent. This South African premiere is a Fugard Theatre production presented by Eric Abraham. Adapted by Lee Hall from Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman's Academy Award-winning screenplay for the 1999 film of the same name, the comedy ran for an extended sold out season at the West End's Noel Coward Theatre in London in 2014. AS in the film, young Will Shakespeare (Dylan Edy) has writer's block, the deadline for his new play fast approaching. He is in desperate need of inspiration, but then he finds his muse, Viola (Roxane Hayward). This beautiful young woman is Will's greatest admirer and will stop at nothing - including breaking the law - to appear in his next play. Against a bustling background of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, Will's love for Viola quickly blossoms and inspires him to write his greatest masterpiece.
