The Last Will finds William Shakespeare retired at his country home on Stratford after decades of struggle and success in the city of London. In the last stages of a fatal illness, his deteriorating mind obliterates the distinction between fiction and fact, and the playwright begins acting as a character in his own plays. Richard Burbage, leader of Shakespeare's Acting Company, attempts to persuade him to return to London and to playwriting, as Will wrestles with his suspicions, delusions, family resentment, and final testaments.

This co-production celebrates Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's professional relationships with leaders of the Boston Theatre Community: Suffolk University Theatre Department and The Modern Theatre; Boston Playwrights' Theatre's Kate Snodgrass; and with Actors' Shakespeare Project's Allyn Burrows.
