"What You Will," a Shakespearean travesty

The Shakespeare play Shakespeare never wrote! Pear Theatre's 15th season concludes with WHAT YOU WILL, a “Shakespearean travesty” by Max Gutmann. When Antonio returns from a successful diplomatic mission with a new French bride, little does he suspect how quickly his happy life is about to fall apart. Can he set things right in time to save his marriage and prevent civil war? Kidnapping, cross-dressing, and adultery combine in this madcap comedy, written by rearranging thousands of snippets cut from the plays of William Shakespeare into a completely new plot. Given a developmental reading at the Pear in 2015, WHAT YOU WILL returns as a fully staged production.
