*The role of Kimberly Akimbo has been cast.

JANE ANGER, A bold, working-class “cunning woman” (healer and writer) who climbs through Shakespeare’s window seeking his endorsement to publish her feminist pamphlet. She’s witty, self-aware, and determined to claim her voice in a world that silences women.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, A vain, melodramatic playwright suffering from writer’s block while quarantined. He’s portrayed as egotistical and sexist, relying on others—especially women—for inspiration.

ANNE HATHAWAY, Shakespeare’s long-neglected wife, who arrives unexpectedly. Initially portrayed as needy and overlooked, she gradually finds her voice and joins Jane in confronting the patriarchy.

FRANCIS SIR, Shakespeare’s grubby, over-eager apprentice who insists he’s 16 (he’s clearly not). An aspiring actor with big dreams and little hygiene, he’s a comic foil full of ambition and absurdity.

JOSIE HOGAN, A strong-willed, earthy Irish-American woman in her 20s–30s. Tough and outspoken, but emotionally vulnerable beneath her bold exterior.

PHIL HOGAN, Josie’s aging, foul-mouthed father. A hard, manipulative tenant farmer with a sharp tongue and deep distrust of other.

MIKE HOGAN, Josie’s younger brother. Gentle and decent, he leaves early in the play to escape their father’s control.

JAMES TYRONE, JR, A charming, middle-aged alcoholic haunted by guilt and loss. He shares a deep, complicated bond with Josie.T. STEDMAN HARDER, The wealthy landowner and neighbor. Nervous and pompous, he’s an easy target for Phil’s schemes.
