Toronto: Tickets are now on sale for the Village Players’ production of “The Book of Will” April 26-May 18

Wednesday, April 10, 2024

Tickets are now on sale for the last show of our 50th anniversary season - Lauren Gunderson's award-winning comedic drama, The Book of Will, directed by Jennifer Monteith. This rapid fire and buoyant play runs at The Village Playhouse from Friday, April 26, until Saturday, May 18.

The Book of Will tells the story of those who knew Shakespeare best as they fight to collect 37 of his plays into one volume against all odds. They may not have any money or clear-cut rights to his work, but they’re armed with wit, humour, a deep camaraderie and a passion to preserve the plays that shaped their lives. In order to honour the legacy of the man they loved, they’ll have to battle an unscrupulous book publisher, a boozy poet laureate, and their own rag-tag company of actors and stage managers. Amidst the noise and colour 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.
