Shakespeare theater Diever 'The strong will' March 12,13,14,20,21,27 and 28
Especially for the Shakespeare Theatre's 80th anniversary, a brand new Globe production is being developed titled The Strong Will, not a play by William Shakespeare but certainly a Shakespearean comedy. In short The Strong Will is set behind the scenes of a theater company centered around William Shakespeare. Money, power and ambition determine who succeeds. Furthermore, you only have to meet one condition: you must be a man. The young talented Kate Fletcher does not settle for that. Disguised as a man, she captures a spot as a playwright. The company rehearses a play she wrote and nothing seems to stand in the way of success. Until a wealthy widow and backer of the company falls head over heels in love with Kate, disguised as a man.
