By Lauren Gunderson | Directed by Reid Edelman

Without William Shakespeare, we would not have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Shakespeare’s friends 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 have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book of Will presents a true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.
