Closing out the 2025 season is a play based on the popular award winning film Shakespeare in Love.
A boisterous romantic comedy set in the world of theatre.
Young Will Shakespeare has a bad case of writer’s block and desperately needs a muse. His new comedy, Romeo and Ethel the Pirate’s Daughter, isn’t turning out how he’d hoped and he’s up against a tight deadline to deliver his next masterpiece.
That is until he meets Viola de Lesseps, and a real-life romance starts to take hold. But Viola has a secret and this new play isn’t shaping up to be the light-hearted comedy Queen Bess demanded.
By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company.
