  3. Shakespeare in Love


New England Premiere! Mistaken identities, courtly intrigue, and backstage bickering are all part of the fun in this raucous romantic comedy of errors, based on the Academy Award-winning film. On deadline to finish his play "Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter," young Will Shakespeare is suffering a severe case of writer's block. Enter Viola, a headstrong noblewoman and admirer of Will's, who disguises herself as a boy so she can skirt the law and appear (as a girl) in his play. When playwright and muse fall in love, the plot undergoes some surprising rewrites that remind us all the world's a stage.
