‘Her Majesty’s Will is a heady, silly romp that works!’ –The Chicago Tribune
Young William Shakespeare is hiding from the law in rural Lancashire, languishing as a simple school master. Christopher Marlowe is living the high life as a spy for the Crown. When a dastardly plot to assassinate the Queen draws these two unforgettable wits together, Will is swept up in a world of intrigue, treachery, and mayhem in an adventure that will define the rest of his life – if he can only manage to survive it. Based on the acclaimed novel by David Blixt, this irreverent comedy imagines Shakespeare’s ‘lost years’ as a rousing romp through the streets and across the stages of Elizabethan London.
‘This animated adventure story, filled with intrigue, passion and wild sword fights will thrill even the most jaded Shakespeare scholar and will inspire many others to read Blixt’s original novel.’ –Chicago Theatre Review
‘The play is well-researched and displays a clear love of the subject matter. Devoted fans of the Bard will find plenty of winking references to his works, and lovers of Elizabethan times will delight in the lively characters drawn from history.’ -Theatre Mania
