The Book of Will

Written by Lauren Gunderson, this stunning play was set amidst the noise and colour of Elizabethan London. 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.  The Book of Will…..an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter.

Our Drama and Theatre Club children had front row seats at the Shakespeare North Playhouse for this thrilling theatrical story.  At the end of the show, the children were able to meet the cast and pose for photos.
