2 hours and 15 minutes

The Beard of Avon

How can a stage-struck bumpkin break into the glamorous world of show biz? If your name’s Will Shakspere, you could pose as front-man for word-happy aristocrats too proud to admit they’re scribbling plays for the unwashed masses.

Playwright Amy Freed and Goodman Resident Director David Petrarca stand an age-old literary debate on its ear in this deliciously witty new play.
