V.6 - Tom Hendry Warehouse 
Will is a trans actor seeking purpose when they somehow summon the spirit of Will Shakespeare. Instant besties, Will & Will reclaim the Bard's old plays in their original homoerotic, cross-dressing, genderfluid glory. Now, you are invited to an impromptu party celebrating this new friendship. But to meet the guest of honor, we must perform the seance again, together.

Gender Play, or what you Will promises a mystical journey of queer joy, laughter, tarot, and self-discovery.

Gender Play, or what you Will—Tom Hendry Warehouse

Fresh off a US tour to Tony-Award Winning theatres such as Steppenwolf and Actors Theatre of Louisville, GENDER PLAY makes its international debut!

In this highly anticipated Fringe Festival Debut, award-winning “theatrical trans trailblazer” Will Wilhelm invites you to a “resistance [that] is bedazzled and joyous.” (Chicago Reader)

GENDER PLAY rediscovers Shakespeare by returning to its original, gender-imaginative roots, and invites everyone into the expansive possibilities inherent to queer liberation. We begin by summoning Shakespeare himself at the Tom Hendry Warehouse. Don’t miss it!

“Both welcoming and irresistible… powerful and transformative.” – Stage Door Louisville
