SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE
Altrincham Garrick Playhouse
6th - 11th February 2023
Penniless and indebted to two demanding producers, struggling young playwright William Shakespeare is tormented by writer's block until he meets the beautiful Viola de Lesseps, daughter of a wealthy merchant, whose fiery passion for poetry and drama leaves her secretly longing to be an actor. Both are despondent when they learn that Viola's father has promised her to the stuffy Lord Wessex in order to gain a title for their family. Under the veil of secrecy, Will and Viola's passionate love affair becomes the basis of the very play he is writing – Romeo and Juliet.
With opening night – and the wedding day – fast approaching, the plots race toward a parallel conclusion. Will it all work out in the end or are the two star-crossed lovers destined for tragedy?
The Oscar-winning film Shakespeare in Love starred Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, Judi Dench, Geoffrey Rush and Tom Wilkinson and won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay.
This romantic comedy transports audiences back to Shakespeare's London in a production that is full of energy, colour, spectacle and love.
The Garrick Ensemble is a company of 18 – 30 year old aspiring actors from Greater Manchester and Cheshire who perform one production each year as part of the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse Main House Season. The production will be directed by Artistic Director Joseph Meighan.
The Garrick Ensemble aims to make theatre that is fresh, innovative and exciting. See the very best of local, up and coming talent before they move forward in the next stages of their careers in the Arts.
