Young Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter,” before it’s even written. When a lovely noblewoman auditions for a role, they fall into forbidden love — and his play finds a new life (and title). As their relationship progresses, Shakespeare’s comedy soon transforms into tragedy.
Presented in partnership with Ballet Des Moines:
To celebrate Ballet Des Moines’s upcoming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, we are presenting a one-night-only screening of the classic Shakespeare in Love. Join us before the show, as dancers from Ballet Des Moines will be in costume to meet-and-greet, and take pictures in front of our photo wall.
