Shakespeare's Will

by Vern Thiessen

Vern Thiessen, winner of the Governor General's Award for his play Einstein's Gift, provides voice in this latest work to one of the most silent characters in history: Anne Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare. The play sheds light on unexplored aspects of Hathaway's life by looking through the eyes and heart of the woman who spent a lifetime with—and without—the great poet. This work is the celebration of a life unbowed by tragedy and unapologetic in the face of public scorn.

“Masterful. In theatre… it's rare that you get something that is unequivocally, indisputably great…. Every so often something comes along that deserves to be gushed about. The hardest thing about reviewing it… is figuring out where to begin praising it...” — Vue Weekly
