All the world’s a stage, and I need a word with the director

By Abigail Thorn
Directed by Eliza Grafton
Auditions: Oct 19–21, 2025
Performances: Jan 30–Feb 1, Feb 6–8 and 13–15, 2026
When a multiverse of Shakespeare’s work traps people into playing out the roles in his plays, Sam and Jen must use a magic map to find their way back home — but when Jen notices Henry “Hotspur” Percy longing to be someone else, she can’t help but wonder… are they really the only people trapped here?
KWLT’s performance of The Prince will explore this unique twist on The Bard’s work and its relationship with gender like never before, as we enter the round to ask ourselves what it really means to play a role in today’s world.
