“I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all.” Shakespeare is known for writing some of the most famous romantic plays in history such as Romeo and Juliet. But little is known about the romantic life of the acclaimed playwright, which is why the story of Shakespeare in Love is unique. It was first portrayed on the big screen in 1998 and it won seven Oscars. Shakespeare in Love has now been adapted for the theatre and it promises to deliver a comical, and romantic story to an audience this fall. It has all the iconic themes that Shakespeare fans enjoy, such as forbidden love and tragedy, and there’s also a touch of modern-day female empowerment.
