Women of Will

Women of Will

Teachers wishing to introduce their students to Shakespeare in performance can book this 70-minute compilation of scenes and monologues highlighting the diversity of Shakespeare's female characters. Scripts in Women of Will include Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Othello, and Julius Caesar. Many of these scripts are regularly taught in middle and high school Language Arts classes.

Women of Will is designed for four women to play all the characters, drawn from sixteen of Shakespeare's plays, with the additional conceit that the only male characters that appear in the production are when the women dress up as boys to pursue their own destinies. Thus students are introduced to a variety of acting styles and techniques, an experience that will support process-centered National Standards in the Arts.

Women of Will embraces the wit, the verve and the determination of queens, mothers, young women, lovers and adventurers, ranging from the histories to the comedies and tragedies.
