What You Will

Description

What You Will is the one-man everything there is "to be or not to be" about William Shakespeare: the greatest soliloquies ever written next to side-splitting accounts of the funniest disasters ever perpetrated on the stage. There's Romeo, Juliet's foolish Nurse, gory Macbeth, Hamlet, and the oh-so-tragic Richard II, joined by the likes of Charles Dickens, James Thurber, Noël Coward, and Stevie Wonder.

"Exciting . . . charming . . . as [Rees] serves each little morsel, your wish is akin to Oliver Twist's: Please, sir, some more."
—The Washington Post

"At once merrily irreverent and respectful, audaciously dismissive and deserving, puckishly playful and protective, sublimely whimsical and wise . . . a delicious evening of theater in the fullest sense of the word."
—Berkshire Eagle

"The comic highlight of the year . . . not since Monty Python's Spamalot opened on Broadway have I laughed as heartily and often as I did at Roger Rees' one-man show."
—North Adams Transcript

Presented by American Conservatory Theater in association with Evenstar Productions and LTM Artists.
