Poor Will Shakespeare is suffering from a severe case of writer's block with a deadline fast approaching. Then his number one fan, Viola, appears, disguised as a boy and hoping to appear in his new play. Viola sparks the bard's creative fires and when he and his muse fall in love, hilarity ensues: mistaken identities, competitive backbiting with another troupe of players, and the potential of suffering the Queen's wrath! Adapted from the Oscar-winning film, Shakespeare in Love is an homage to the joys of theater.

Shakespeare in Love will be directed by Cape Rep's Associate Artistic Director, Maura Hanlon, with Musical Direction by Peter Hodgson of this season's Merrily We Roll Along and Mamma Mia! Ryan McGettigan designs the set with costumes by Robin McLaughlin, lighting by Phil Kong and Kate Gulden is the stage manager.

Nick Nudler (Billy Elliot, Hairspray) returns to the Cape Rep stage in the role of Will Shakespeare with Lindsey Erin Agnes (Men On Boats, Mamma Mia!) as Viola De Lesseps. Mario Haynes and Jenn Pina make their Cape Rep debuts as Kit Marlowe and The Nurse/Queen Elizabeth. An incredible ensemble of Cape Rep company members round out the cast including Stephen Russell (Boundless), Art Devine (Jerusalem, Peter and the Starcatcher), Anthony Teixeira (The Tuna Goddess, Mamma Mia!), Stephen Rourke (Billy Elliot), Dennis Cunningham (Regular Singing, Outside Mullingar), Ari Lew (Mamma Mia!, How I Became a Pirate), Tom Wolfson (Jerusalem, Knight of the Burning Pestle), Ryan Sheehan (The Tuna Goddess, Mamma Mia!), Macklin Devine (Mamma Mia!, Jerusalem) and Peter Hodgson.
