Tony Award winner Roger Rees will star in his solo show, What You Will for Orlando Shakespeare Theater, at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, on February 29 at 7pm.

This 90-minute piece combines Shakespeare’s greatest soliloquies with accounts of the funniest disasters ever perpetrated on the stage.

Rees is currently starring on Broadway in The Addams Family. He received both Olivier and Tony Awards for his portrayal of the title role in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. His many film and television credits include The Prestige, Frida, Cheers, The West Wing, and Grey’s Anatomy.


The performance replaces the previously reported Brian Bedford in The Lunatic, The Lover and the Poet, which has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts.
