Notre Dame Film, Television, and Theatre Presents
The Book of Will
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Sarah Gitenstein
Seven years after the death of Shakespeare, a small group of unexpected heroes with no money, resources, or experience come together to compile what would become Shakespeare’s First Folio. This rapid fire and buoyant play tells the story of those who knew Shakespeare best as they fight to collect 37 of his plays into one volume against all odds. Their translation of words from the stage to the page would forever change theater and literature.
A partner performance of the 2027 Notre Dame Arts Biennial and supported with funding from the Notre Dame Arts Initiative.
