About the show:
“The Book of Will” by Lauren Gunderson. Directed by Sydney Parks Smith. Playing November 4 – December 2 in The Lincoln Center Magnolia Theatre
When Hamlet was defaced and debased on a stage near the Globe Theatre three years after Shakespeare’s death, his works were in danger of being lost forever. Enter The King’s Men! Henry Condell and John Heminges get the band back together and race to assemble the Bard’s scattered masterpieces. Their epic undertaking results in the creation of the First Folio and the preservation of their dear friend’s theatrical legacy. The Book of Will is a tale of love, laughter, and loss. Joyously sprinkled with Shakespeare’s most beloved writing, it is sure to put a new spin on the man you think you know. Visit openstagebook.com for tickets and more information.
