25 Meeting House RoadOne of Shakespeare’s first plays performed at The Globe, Julius Caesar explores the timeless themes of brotherhood and loyalty. After triumphing over his former comrade-turned-rival Pompey, Caesar amasses sole power in Rome. A conspiracy arises to counter him, and the Republic’s leading men are forced to choose between their ideals, their friends and their own self-interest.
Will Kempe’s Players pleases scholars and lovers of Shakespeare -and converts those who once dreaded reading the Bard in English class. This Troy-based cooperative stages the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries using the methods of their era. Will Kempe’s Players promotes an inclusive creative environment, making these works engaging and accessible to modern audiences - all while retaining historical authenticity.

We believe in presenting the works of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries through
original practices.
We use minimal lights, tech, and set to mimic the conditions these works were originally presented.
We directly address our audience,
engaging the crowd and perpetuating their existence in the world of the play.
We travel throughout New York's capital region and beyond, bringing these
plays to a wide array of communities.
