Shakespeare's Will by Vern Thiessen makes a New York City premiere with NACL Theatre performer Tannis Kowalchuk in the featured role of Anne Hathaway, William Shakespeare's wife.
Performed with physical prowess, dynamic theatricality and live music, NACL's production of Vern Thiessen's epic monologue delves into a complex female experience of 16th century life while drawing contemporary parallels to modern love, children, work, and loss.
The play begins on the afternoon of Shakespeare’s funeral. Anne knows she must read her husband’s will, but before she does, the unreserved widow relives her colorful and unorthodox life.
