The Book of Will

by Lauren Gunderson

Directed by Christine Mani

Where there’s a Will, there’s a way.

The Book of Will brings to life the chaotic, hilarious, passionate, and *mostly* true endeavor to compile Shakespeare’s plays into the legendary First Folio!

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 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, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.
