Synopsis: Without 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! After the death of their 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 beg, borrow, 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, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.
Cast: Threshold Theatre will practice open casting, which includes race conscious, gender conscious, gender identification conscious, age conscious, and accessibility conscious casting where appropriate. There will be doubling and tripling for some actors. The cast will number 10-12 members.
You may bring a prepared monologue if you like, but it is not required, and readings from the script will be provided.
Please bring a resume and headshot if you have them, but we will be prepared to take photos of those who do not have a headshot.
We hope to see you soon!
