Shakespeare In Love - Geelong Repertory Theatre Company

Presented by Geelong Repertory Theatre Company

Shakespeare In Love - Geelong Repertory Theatre Company

Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard
Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall
Directed by Derek Ingles

Closing out the 2025 season is a play based on the popular award winning film Shakespeare in Love.

A boisterous romantic comedy set in the world of theatre.

Young Will Shakespeare has a bad case of writer’s block and desperately needs a muse.  His new comedy, Romeo and Ethel the Pirate’s Daughter, isn’t turning out how he’d hoped and he’s up against a tight deadline to deliver his next masterpiece.

That is until he meets Viola de Lesseps, and a real-life romance starts to take hold.  But Viola has a secret and this new play isn’t shaping up to be the light-hearted comedy Queen Bess demanded.

By Arrangement with ORiGiN Theatrical
On behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company
