LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — SUNY Sullivan Theatre Program will present NACL Theatre’s production of “Shakespeare’s Will,” by award-winning playwright Vern Thiessen, on March 5 for two performance at 2 and 8 p.m. Tannis Kowalchuk performs the role of Anne Hathaway in a lively song-filled solo performance about the life of Anne Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare.

The play begins on the afternoon of Shakespeare’s funeral. Anne knows she must read her husband’s will, but before she does, the widow relives her life as mother, wife and woman in 17th Century Stratford-upon-Avon. Basing the narrative upon the little information known about the Bard’s wife, Canadian playwright, Thiessen has written a sensitive and humorous text in verse, taking great delight imagining and inventing the robust, earthy, and intelligent character of Hathaway.

Kowalchuk moves from character to character and from decade to decade in an hour-long performance filled with song, inventive use of simple props and humorous storytelling. Directed by Mimi McGurl with music by Kurt Knuth and costumes by Karen Flood, the play will be presented at SUNY Sullivan’s Seelig Theatre, 112 College Rd. Admission costs $10; students admitted free. Call 845/434-5750 or 800/577-5243.
