A new play by Lauren M. Gunderson and Casey M. Murphy

Christmas, 1598. When a winter storm strands William Shakespeare and a young actor at a countryside inn, an unexpected holiday gathering brings plenty of mischief, romance, family drama, and Shakespearean wit.

Be among the first to experience Christmastide, a heartwarming new play in development, presented by the Nashville Shakespeare Festival as a special workshop reading. With scripts in hand and the creative process unfolding, audiences will get a rare glimpse into how a new play comes to life.

Each presentation will be followed by a conversation with the artists.
