Collaborative Arts returns with a close look at Shakespeare’s heroines as seen through Tina Packer’s Women of Will. Packer — founder of Shakespeare & Company — will perform alongside Nigel Gore in this national production directed by Eric Tucker. From the tragic Juliet (of Romeo & Juliet) to the male-disguised Rosalind (of As You Like It), you’ll get a variety of the many different female characters who helped to make Shakespeare’s works classics.
