JESS WINFIELD
Thursday, July 31 at 7:30 p.m.

Some good literate fun—very literate fun—is in store this evening as Jess Winfield, co-founder of the Reduced Shakespeare Company and the central figure in his own full-length show, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), reads from his rollicking debut novel, My Name is Will (12). Any wondering as to who might be the Will in question? "The two narratives in Winfield's whimsical debut are unified by their shared irreverence, humor and literary gusto ... Winfield uses his deep understanding of Shakespeare's work and times to great effect, and his affection for the material shines through." - Publishers Weekly. "The Bard has never been this much fun." - Christopher Buckley.
