IT'S SHOW WEEK!!!
The Wesley Players Present:
The Book of Will
By Lauren Gunderson

The Wesley Players present a moving drama inspired by true events.
A story of love, loss, and laughter as Henry, John, Alice, Elizabeth, and Rebecca fight to preserve the works of their friend, William Shakespeare—before they are lost forever.

Set in 1619 on London’s vibrant South Bank, they face fire, grief, empty purses, and ruthless publishers in a race to create the first folio.

Step back in time and witness the extraordinary effort that saved Shakespeare’s words and shaped the theatre we know today.

Times:
8pm Thursday 14th, Friday 15th and Saturday 16th May.
Mattinee 4pm on Saturday 16th May

Tickets:
Online in advance Adults £9 Concessions £7 and children £5 (up to 16). Free Senior Citizen tickets available. Donations Welcome.
