After the death of their friend and mentor William Shakespeare, actors Henry Condell and John Heminges are aghast at watching the Bard’s works get bastardized, and become determined to compile the First Folio of The Collected Works of William Shakespeare to – against incredible odds – preserve the words that shaped their lives. They and the rest of the Shakespeare Syndicate will have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Uproariously funny, heartbreakingly tender, and as entertaining as it is educational, this ‘based on a true story’ tale brings the best of the stage to the stage.
