Will at the EdFringe19

What Fringe audiences said

"I saw this this afternoon, with my sometimes less-than-theatrical partner. We both absolutely loved it, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! One of my highlights of the Fringe. Hugely talented cast and crew. It has everything; emotion, action, excitement, laughter, tears, love and tenderness. And some amazing physical scenes. The whole production is fabulously honed, from the choice of music, to the costumes, to the story and the words, to the sparse and perfect props, to the give-it-all energy of the cast. Go see it. And take your friends."

Sarah Rauchas, choreographer & academic

​

"This is a well crafted, fast-paced visceral and intelligent, sexy and rich exploration of William Shakespeare and his early years from poet and lover to player and, maybe, playwright. Victoria Baumgartner is a writer and director to watch. Grab a ticket - I suspect this is a good piece for national and international touring."

Chris Grady, Theatre Producer & Founder of the MA in Creative Producing at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts

​

"A hidden gem of a show that is creatively written and masterfully performed by 5 multi-talented performers. Perfect venue for the piece and although it is slightly out of the way it is well worth the trip. Fringe theatre at it's finest!"

Wade Ablitt, Musical Theatre composer & Producer

​

"Amidst the myriad of shows at the Fringe 2019, "Will, or Eight Lost Years of William Shakespeare's Life" stands out as one of the greatest shows with great writing, directing, and execution! You don't wanna miss it. It'll surely exceed your expectations! If you can only afford to watch one show, whether it's due to money or time constrain, I'd highly recommend picking this show."

"Amazing show! This show is a bit of a walk away, but so worth the trip. The acting and energy are superb; the cast relate very well to the audience without overdoing it; and it’s just a joy to watch. Don’t miss it!"
