On deadline to finish his new play, Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter (the title could probably use some work), young Will Shakespeare is suffering a massive case of writer's block. Enter Viola, a headstrong noblewoman and admirer of Will's, who disguises herself as a boy so she can quite literally skirt the law and appear -- as a girl! -- in Will's new play. In a classic case of mistaken identity and backstage mayhem, Will's love for Viola quickly blossoms, inspiring him to write his great romantic masterpiece. This charming adaptation of the Oscar-winning movie will make you smile with plenty of clever references to Shakespearean lit. Enjoy the New England premiere of Shakespeare in Love when this raucous romantic comedy of errors comes to the Calderwood Pavilion's Wimberly Theatre in Boston.
