Description
What You Will is the one-man everything there is "to be or not to be" about William Shakespeare: the greatest soliloquies ever written next to side-splitting accounts of the funniest disasters ever perpetrated on the stage. There's Romeo, Juliet's foolish Nurse, gory Macbeth, Hamlet, and the oh-so-tragic Richard II, joined by the likes of Charles Dickens, James Thurber, Noël Coward, and Stevie Wonder.

"Exciting . . . charming . . . as [Rees] serves each little morsel, your wish is akin to Oliver Twist's: Please, sir, some more."
—The Washington Post

"At once merrily irreverent and respectful, audaciously dismissive and deserving, puckishly playful and protective, sublimely whimsical and wise . . . a delicious evening of theater in the fullest sense of the word."
—Berkshire Eagle

"The comic highlight of the year . . . not since Monty Python's Spamalot opened on Broadway have I laughed as heartily and often as I did at Roger Rees' one-man show."
—North Adams Transcript

Presented by American Conservatory Theater in association with Evenstar Productions and LTM Artists.

Roger Rees, a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for 22 years, won both Olivier and Tony awards for his acclaimed performance in The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.

American television audiences know him as the dashing English tycoon Robin Colcord on Cheers, British Ambassador Lord John Marbury on The West Wing, and Dr. Colin Marlow on Grey's Anatomy. His films include Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Frida, The Pink Panther, and The Prestige, among many others.
