THE BOOK OF WILL
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Craig Huisenga
May 10 - May 25, 2024
Black Box Theatre, NOVA Center for the Performing Arts
The Book of Will by Lauren Gunderson, the most-produced living playwright in the US since 2016, follows in April, directed by Craig Huisenga.
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! The Book of Will combines comedy, suspense, tragedy, and inspiration to form a thriller about the publication of the First Folio.
According to the Boulder Weekly (CO), “The Book of Will…will bring tears of both laughter and sorrow to all but the most jaded audience member’s eyes. It is, in a word, a triumph.”
