Shakespeare in Love
Shakespeare in the Cannery
July 13th – August 5th, 2018
Based on the Academy Award winning movie, the play Shakespeare in Love tells the imaginary story of the struggling young playwright, William Shakespeare, whose passion for his poetry-loving muse inspires him to write his stunning masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare in Love takes place in the gritty world of Elizabethan Theater and is filled with hilarity, oddball characters and Shakespeare’s breath-taking poetry. It is a joyous celebration of love, language, and life. “Makes you feel grateful to be alive.” – Independent.
Adapted for the Stage by Lee Hall
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., New York, NY
Directed by David Lear!

Produced and presented by The Arlene Francis Center for Spirit, Art, and Politics!
A Community-Based Creative Arts Project – Shakespeare in the Cannery began five years ago as a project of The Arlene Francis Center. Along with our neighbors, we forged ahead to clean up the vacant lot of the town’s historic Cannery, transformed it to comply with the city codes and finally, raised a stage. The first Shakespeare in the Cannery season began with Romeo & Juliet and now, in our fifth and final season, we close with Shakespeare in Love, our tribute to William Shakespeare.
