A young playwright named Will Shakespeare comes down with writer’s block – until he finds a muse. Art mirrors life in a hilarious and passionate tale of romance and backstage fun. Based on the film of the same name, Shakespeare in Love gets a new life upon the stage. This is the North American Premiere of the adaption and an important production in the Festival's 2016 season.
