THE BOOK OF WILL-
A FUNNY, CHARMING PLAY
ABOUT A BATTLE TO
SAVE A LEGACY

Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn't have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet or The Taming of the Shrew. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare's plays forever! After the death of their dear 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, laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.
