Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. An unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter that sheds new light on a man you may think you know.

Be sure to view the display of Shakespeare's works in our lobby, featuring printed materials from the 1600's and 1700's.
Without the story of The Book of Will, there wouldn't be a display...
