Bard aficionado Tina Packer will star off-Broadway in her play Women of Will, a constantly evolving piece that explores the female characters of William Shakespeare’s plays. Directed by Eric Tucker, Women of Will is scheduled to begin previews January 27, 2013 at the Gym at Judson, and will play a limited engagement through June 2. In addition to Packer, Women of Will is set to star Nigel Gore.
“This evening is not overdressed, just two actors performing scenes and monologues and casually giving explanations in between, but do not let these simplistic measures deceive – Women of Will is one of the most hypnotic, mesmerizing, and stimulating shows playing in fair NYC, where we lay our scene.”
“Ah, the women of Will! That’s Will Shakespeare, by the way. He sure knew how to write a play, and Tina Packer sure knows how to bring his female creations to startling, intense, vivid life. She is an electrifying actress. Combine her dramatic force with the genius of Shakespeare’s writing and be engulfed in an evening of sheer enjoyment.”
