Will

2017 · 1 season

A stylish, anachronistic plunge into a grimy, dangerous London, mixing punk energy with historical intrigue and youthful swagger.

Overview: The wild story of young William Shakespeare's arrival onto the punk-rock theater scene in 16th century London -- the seductive, violent world where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous side-shows. It's a contemporary version of Shakespeare's life, played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all his recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance.
How it feels: Tense, dark, romantic and satirical. Brisk and needs your attention.

Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
