Photo Flash: New Stage Theatre Presents SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE

Based on the acclaimed seven time Oscar winning film, Shakespeare in Love is a romantic comedy set with young Shakespeare who has not yet become famous.

Penniless and indebted to two demanding producers, struggling young playwright William Shakespeare is tormented by writer's block until he meets the beautiful Viola de Lesseps, daughter of a wealthy merchant, whose fiery passion for poetry and drama leaves her secretly longing to be an actor. Surrounded by familiar players, including Queen Elizabeth herself, backstage antics and mistaken identity collide with onstage dramas, Will and Viola's passionate, forbidden love affair goes on to inspire Shakespeare's masterpiece-the most romantic tragedy ever written.

Shakespeare in Love will run April 17-29, 2018 and will include many New Stage favorites including: John Maxwell, John Howell, Larry Wells, Ward Emling, Ali Dinkins, Sharon Miles, Chris Roebuck, David Moncrief, and many more!
