The Last Will
CSC and Suffolk University present the World Premiere of The Last Will.
February 13-24, 2013
The Modern Theatre at Suffolk University
The Last Will is the final installment of Suffolk University's Distinguished Scholar in Residence Robert Brustein's trilogy about the life of William Shakespeare.
The Last Will finds William Shakespeare retired at his country home on Stratford after decades of struggle and success in the city of London. In the last stages of a fatal illness, his deteriorating mind obliterates the distinction between fiction and fact, and the playwright begins acting as a character in his own plays. Richard Burbage, leader of Shakespeare's acting company, attempts to persuade him to return to London and to playwriting, as Will wrestles with his suspicions, delusions, family resentments, his longing for forgiveness, and final testaments.
Featuring:
Allyn Burrows* as William Shakespeare
Brooke Adams* as Anne Hathaway
Stacy Fisher* as Judith Shakespeare
Merritt Janson* as Susanna Shakespeare
Billy Meleady as Francis Collins
Jeremiah Kissel* as Richard Burbage
*Member of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States
Performance dates are February 13-24, 2013. Wednesday and Thursdays at 7pm. Fridays at 8pm. Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm. Sundays at 3pm. Opening Night is Friday, February 15th (ticket holders for this evening's performance are invited to a post-show reception with the cast, staff and creative team).
