Synopsis: London, 1608. William Shakespeare finds himself getting older and striving to retain his relevance – all while placating his fellow actors, meeting the king’s demands, and dodging the plague. It will take a stroke of genius to turn this chaos into the last great movement in the Bard’s writing: the Romance plays. Written by Emmy-winning producer and playwright Scott Carter, whose previous play The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord was produced by Riverside in 2019.
I, Will: A Late Romance is generously sponsored by Denice and Michael Connell.
I, Will: A Late Romance is produced at Riverside Theatre as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other Partner Theaters are Stage West Theatre (Fort Worth, Texas) and The Invisible Theatre (Tucson, Arizona). For more information, please visit nnpn.org
