Wilton High School Theatre kicks off the season with Shakespeare in Love, the romantic comedy based on the 1998 film of the same title. A young Shakespeare is out of cash and ideas, when he meets his ideal woman and she inspires him to write one of the most famous stories of all time. Shakespeare in Love is a delightful imagining of Shakespeare’s possible world and the calamity of Elizabethan theatre. The show is based on the screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, and adapted for the stage by Lee Hall with music by Paddy Cunneen.
The show runs Friday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m. and again at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m.
The show is being staged in the Wilton High School Little Theatre (395 Danbury Rd.).
