It’s been a while since I’ve done a giveaway and today I am bringing a great one your way!  The Book of Will will embark on its European premiere, marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio with award-winning cast and creative team.  Here’s the full description of this fun show:

A brand-new production of Lauren Gunderson’s award-winning comedy, The Book of Will, is coming to
UK audiences this year in its European premiere.
This hilarious love letter to theatre is a co-production from Octagon Theatre Bolton, Queen’s Theatre
Hornchurch and Shakespeare North Playhouse.

This hilarious love letter to theatre is a co-production from Octagon Theatre Bolton, Queen’s Theatre
Hornchurch and Shakespeare North Playhouse.

Opening at Queens Theatre Hornchurch from Thu 27 April – Sat 13 May, before transferring to Octagon
Theatre Bolton from Wed 17 May – Sat 3 June and Shakespeare North Playhouse from Thu 19 October –
Sat 11 November.
Featuring a stellar company of 10 actors, the cast has now been revealed.
The full cast includes: Hollyoaks stars Jessica Ellis and Helen Pearson alongside Zach Lee (ITV’s
Coronation Street, Emmerdale plus Bouncers, John Godber Company, A Christmas Carol, Hull Truck);
Tomi Ogbaro (Seagulls, Octagon Theatre Bolton, The Wonderful World of Dissocia, Theatre Royal
Stratford, Jayne Eyre, Stephen Joseph Theatre and New Vic).
They will be joined by Radio 4 favourite Carrie Quinlan (BBC Radio 4’s John Finnemore’s Souvenir
Programme, Orpheus Descending, Theatr Clwyd/Menier Chocolate Factory); Russell Richardson (ITV’s
Coronation Street, Last Tango in Halifax plus A View From The Bridge, Hindle Wakes, Octagon Theatre
Bolton); Callum Sim (ITV’s Emmerdale and Coronation Street) and Tarek Slater (The Jungle Book,
Oldham Coliseum, Beauty and the Beast, the Dukes).
Completing the cast is star of stage and screen Bill Ward (ITV’s Coronation Street, Emmerdale & BBC’s
Eastenders plus UK tour of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, UK tour of Bath Theatre Royal’s Shakespeare in
Love); and Andrew Whitehead (The Book Thief, Octagon Theatre Bolton, A Christmas Carol, Hull Truck).
Directed by the Octagon’s Artistic Director, Lotte Wakeham, The Book of Will tells the hilarious and moving
story of the breath-taking race against time to gather all of Shakespeare’s works and save them for the
ages.
This wonderfully witty, funny and fast-paced play tells the story of The King’s Men as they band together for
a near-impossible plan – to collect all of Shakespeare’s plays and compile the First Folio. No easy feat, and
what follows is a bonkers race against time through 1620s London.
