Interview with the What You Will Players
An ensemble performing solo, together alone, so much shared. We asked our 9 players to reflect on the project, and their experience devising in isolation.
In this age of Netflix and HBO, why is this project still relevant?
Hiroaki: The audience can steer a ship named WyW.

Dan Beaulieu’s A defense/An indictment of Toby Belch
Player Dan Beaulieu shares his incredible, searing, and insightful perspective of tackling Sir Toby Belch, along with the (very personal) engine of addiction.
The deep dive of what you will was murky and troubling water… Toby’s final line in the play is “I hate a drunken rogue”, often to the amusement of the laughing audience. I posit that what he is in fact saying is “I hate my Selfe”.
(Trigger Warning – Dan’s piece contains references to and deals with issues of themes including: mental health, addiction, drug use, self-harm, as well as Shakespeare)
