About the play

Something new from one of America’s most produced and prolific playwrights … It is London, 1619. William Shakespeare is dead and his legacy depends on a circle of devoted writers, actors, and friends. When a botched and hilariously pirated production of Hamlet plays on a nearby stage, they realize the words of their friend and mentor—words that shaped their lives—are soon to be lost forever. This small group of unexpected heroes with no money, no resources, and no experience must come together to—against all odds and in a race against time—collect and compile Shakespeare’s plays into one definitive printed edition. Their translation of words from the stage to the page would forever change theater and literature. This unforgettable true story is a lively, funny, and poignant love letter to theater and to the printed word. Winner of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award 2018.
