    Tony and Olivier Award-winning actor Roger Rees stars in this very hysterical (somewhat historical) one-horsed gallop through all things Shakespearean. What You Will is the one-man everything there is "to be or not to be" about William Shakespeare: the greatest soliloquies ever written next to side-splitting accounts of the funniest disasters ever perpetrated on the stage.

    David Mamet's November at American Conservatory Theater

    Full Price:
    $22.00 - $82.00
    Our Price:
    $12.00 - $42.00

    Fresh from Broadway, Mamet's new comedy November takes a satirical stab at American politics. President Charles Smith, the most corrupt buffoon ever to sit in the Oval Office, is in the final days of his bid for re-election, but the country is a mess and his poll numbers are low. Toss in a lesbian speechwriter longing to marry her sweetheart on TV, Thanksgiving turkeys awaiting pardon, and a ton of shady back-room scheming and you've got Mamet's latest. Learn More

    Quotes & Highlights

    • "Exciting...charming...as [Rees] serves each little morsel, your wish is akin to Oliver Twist's: Please, sir, some more." --Washington Post
    • "The comic highlight of the year...not since Monty Python's Spamalot opened on Broadway have I laughed as heartily and often as I did at Roger Rees' one-man show." --North Adams Transcript
    • "At once merrily irreverent and respectful, audaciously dismissive and deserving, puckishly playful and protective, sublimely whimsical and wise...a delicious evening of theater in the fullest sense of the word." --Berkshire Eagle
