Ghost Light Players is excited to present our production of The Book of Will, by Lauren Gunderson. Winner of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award, 2018.
Seating for this show will be cabaret-style, and audience members may select their own seats during purchase. There are four seats to a table, and tables will be close together. Concessions will be available before the show begins and during intermission, and audience members are welcome to eat and drink at their seats. Because action takes places throughout the space, audience members will be required to hang their coats on provided coat racks and personal items must be kept off the floor.
"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. 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."
