Based on the award winning film, this enchanting, hilarious, romantic stage play reimagines Shakespeare’s creative process and explores his inspiration as he writes Romeo & Juliet.

Written by Tom Stoppard, Lee Hall, and Marc Norman
Directed by Polina Kalinina
Presented by BA Acting and Stage Combat

Young Will Shakespeare has writer's block. The deadline for his new play is fast approaching, but he's in desperate need of inspiration. That is, until he finds his muse... the feisty, brilliant and beautiful Viola. This crafty 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, inspiring him to write his greatest romantic masterpiece.
