Synopsis
Despite the fact that he is the subject of more biographies than anybody else, almost nothing is truly known about William Shakespeare, the greatest writer who ever lived. Now, for the first time, Shakespeare the man comes to life and tells his tales with the exquisite flair you'd expect. In this fun and informative "encounter" with The Bard, audiences take a magical journey into Shakespeare's life and times, into the world of Elizabethan theatre, and through the rich beauty of his poems and plays.

Playwright Joseph Ajlouny, fresh from the success of his play about the authorship controversy, THE TRIAL of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, presents a meticulously researched and highly believable account of Shakespeare's lost years, emphasizing his particular brand of genious and charm within the context of an unexpected (but welcome) visitation by the man himself.

Biography
Veteran stage actor Milton Papageorge as The Bard is nothing short of incredible. His years of study and dedication to an authentic impersonation are at once evident. And very credible indeed! The Q & A feature at the end of the show is always an audience highlight.

Mr. Papgeorge is an adjunct professor of theatre at The University of Arizona offering master classes on Acting Shakespeare and Solo Show Performance.
