CRT's Shakespeare in Love

  • Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre (map)

Connecticut Repertory Theatre presents Shakespeare In Love

By Tom Stoppard, Lee Hall and Marc Norman | Directed by Vincent Tycer

November 21-23 & December 4-8, 2019

The Academy Award-winning film is now a hit play! A young, pre-fame Will Shakespeare is struggling with writer’s block, with the deadline for his next play approaching all too quickly! Sparks fly when he meets Viola, a merchant’s daughter with secret theatrical ambitions of her own. Their forbidden love affair just might give Will the inspiration he needs to write a masterpiece. An epic Elizabethan extravaganza filled with mistaken identities, backstage chaos, and the power of love – and theatre.
