Will is a trans actor seeking purpose and belonging, and not seeing their story reflected in the media or history. In their most desperate hour, they hold a seance to summon one of the oldest and queerest playwrights of the English language - William Shakespeare! The two are now becoming total besties and Will invites you to an impromptu party to celebrate this new friendship. For eight nights only, join Will & Will as they reclaim the Bard’s old plays in all of their original homoerotic, cross-dressing, genderfluid glory. But to meet the guest of honor, we must perform the seance again, together. Gender Play, or what you Will promises a mystical journey of queer joy, laughter, tarot, and self-discovery through the classics.
This production of Gender Play, or what you Will originated at and is fiscally sponsored by Indianapolis Shakespeare Company. This production is presented as a partner event of World Pride by Theater Alliance and Shakespeare Theatre Company.
