The Book of Will is a play by Lauren Gunderson that tells the story of William Shakespeare's friends, Henry Condell, John Heminges and others, who are determined to preserve his work after his death. The play, set in Elizabethan London, takes place three years after Shakespeare's death, when his plays are being pirated and performed incorrectly.
“Like many Shakespeare fans, I had no idea that his plays were nearly lost forever! They were saved by the monumental efforts of the members of his theatre company after his death. It’s a fascinating and entertaining true story that I think audiences will really enjoy,” said Director Stan Sutherland.
The production comes to life in Flagstaff with a cast of 14 performers, open to patrons aged six and up. Justin Phillips who plays John Heminges said, "This play brings the man of Shakespeare into the room, not only through his works, but through the impact he had on the people around him. He may not show up as a character, but he is in every word of this play and it shows the extraordinary efforts of his friends to preserve his legacy." Rook Feld who plays Isaac Jaggard added, “This show brings us an intimate, generous, and downright funny perspective on Shakespeare’s social life.”
