Riverside Theatre is opening its 2026/27 season with the world premiere of 'I, Will: A Late Romance,' a play centered on Shakespeare during the London plague.

1608. It’s miserable. The plague has rocked London to its core, and if it’s not that, the city is ruled by a bizarre and unpredictable regime that seems more interested in its own self-image than the well-being of its population. To make things worse, Shakespeare has lost both his audience and his touch. In short, everything sucks. This is where I, Will: A Late Romance, the kick-off production of Riverside Theatre's 2026/27 season opens, and our story begins.
