Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! Under the direction of NWSA faculty Silas Hoover, the New World School of the Arts high school theater students will open the Theater Division’s season with Lauren Gunderson’s life-affirming play, The Book of Will. Written by one of America’s most-produced playwrights, the characters work to safeguard Shakespeare’s work and rescue it for posterity three years after his death.
The Book of Will opens this Friday. Following the show, guests are invited to attend an opening reception at the New World Gallery, 25 NE 2 Street, Lobby, honoring Margaret Ledford, Artistic Director City Theatre Miami.
