Title: Shakespeare in Love
Presented By: Introspect Theatre Company

Synopsis: “Shakespeare in Love” is a romantic comedy adapted for the stage by Lee Hall, based on the Oscar-winning screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. Set in Elizabethan England, the play follows a young and creatively blocked William Shakespeare as he struggles to write his next masterpiece. When he meets Viola de Lesseps, a spirited noblewoman who dreams of acting, their ensuing romance and artistic collaboration breathe life into what will become one of his greatest works: Romeo and Juliet. Viola disguises herself as a man to audition for the play, leading to mistaken identities, theatrical chaos, and the ultimate triumph of love and creativity.
