" If you don't include the works of William Shakespeare, (Lauren Gunderson) topped the chart of having the most produced plays in the U.S. in both 2017 and 2019. With Shakespeare being the only author with more plays produced those years, it's fitting that one of Gunderson's more recent works, The Book of Will, which focuses on the need to document the past and ensure that a man's legacy is remembered, centers on Shakespeare. With impeccable direction and a superb cast, this historical drama is receiving a superb production from The Phoenix Theatre Company....The Book of Will is a beautiful play that celebrates Shakespeare, the theatre, the friendships of artists, and the drive to honor the memory of a man so he's not forgotten. Phoenix Theatre Company's production is a love letter for fans of the theatre and the works of both Shakespeare and Gunderson."

"...Lauren Gunderson’s cleverly witty “The Book of Will” provides a fascinating scenario for how the (Shakespeare) plays were retained and a solid Phoenix Theatre Company staging keeps audiences entertained with comic portrayals of Shakespeare’s acting colleagues who decided to preserve the works after the playwright’s death. Gunderson has added enough contemporary wit to keep things light but thought-provoking..." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
