Shakespeare in Love

Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall.

Vermont Repertory Theatre presents Shakespeare in Love, the lush, romantic stage adaptation of the beloved Academy Award winning film, once again bringing history to life with extraordinary and elaborate period costumes and scenery that will dazzle as much as they enthrall.

This witty, fast paced comedy follows young William Shakespeare as he struggles with writer's block - until he meets the clever and passionate Viola, who becomes his muse and sparks the creation of Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter.

With mistaken identities, backstage drama, and timeless romance, Shakespeare in Love is a joyful ode to storytelling, art and the redemptive power of love.

In an inspired twist, this production transforms the Isham Barn Theatre into a working Elizabethan playhouse - rich with atmosphere, history and the thrill of live performance in an intimate setting.

'Shakespeare in love' is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
