Without Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet, but without Henry Condell and John Heminges, Shakespeare’s plays could have been lost forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. The Book of Will finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.
