The Pacific Conservatory Theatre's (PCPA) next production Shakespeare in Love will run from Feb. 7 through March 3.
The play is a romantic comedy based on the movie written by Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman. In the play, William Shakespeare is suffering from writer's block while working on his new play, Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter. The production also follows Viola, who is set to be married to Lord Wessex but also wants to star in a Shakespeare play, despite women being prevented by law from appearing on stage. Viola dons the disguise of Sir Thomas Kent and begins an affair with Shakespeare, now inspired by her to write Romeo and Juliet.
PCPA's production is directed by Roger DeLaurier and features Yusef Seevers and Emily Trask, two of its newest resident artists. The 1998 film version won Academy Awards for Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and more.
