A Woman Of Will starts previews on Thursday, September 15th at off-Broadway's Daryl Roth Theatre (101 E. 15th St.) before opening on Sunday, October 2nd.Presented by Ashley Road Productions, A Woman of Will features lyrics by McBroom, music by Silberman and a book by both; Silberman also directs. According to production notes, "A Woman of Will is the musical adventure of a writer in crisis – both personal and professional. Hired to finish the lyrics of a Broadway-bound musical version of The Merchant of Venice, Kate faces the demands of an unrelenting deadline in addition to important decisions about her marriage and future. In desperation, she reaches out to Shakespeare's leading ladies for guidance. What follows is a celebration of life in a crackling display of wit and wisdom, bursting forth from 17 original songs." In its June 2004 premiere at The Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, CA, the musical was called Lady Macbeth Sings the Blues.
