Shakespeare's Will takes us on a journey through Anne Hathaway's dalliance with and shotgun marriage to William Shakespeare. This is a play with extraordinary highs and lows. Anne is a sexually robust, emotionally healthy woman who is content to live as a "grass widow" while her husband has his own life in London. The show's climax deals with the plague that hit England in the mid 1590s. As many of you may know, Shakespeare's son, Hamnet, died during this period of time.
Jamie Bruno, SSF's Producing Artistic Director of this show, says, "Nora O'Dea's empathy for her character and understanding of the Tudor period are equally deep. It has been a privilege to work with her as she developed a performance that will entertain and move Syracuse audiences."
*Shakespeare's Will was produced by special arrangement in the United States with Bruce Ostler and Mark Orsini. BRET ADAMS, LTD., 448 W 44th Street, New York, NY 10036.
