Willy's Lil Virgin Queen

A Brief History of the Bard and a Queen

What begin as a lecture in 2012, traveling libraries in California and Colorado, became an award-winning, 75-minute, frenetic comedy about finding one's voice from trauma to triumph through the words and works of William Shakespeare.


Written and performed by Terra Taylor Knudson, and directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson, "Willy" has played dozens of times in numerous venues across California and Arizona since 2016 and in 2022 the show makes its international debut as participant in the online programs at the Greater Manchester Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe, Sydney Fringe, and Melbourne Fringe. 


This energetic show runs like a bullet train from start to finish, making hairpin turns from humor to drama, whipping in and out of the most iconic characters and modern, very relatable experience as actress/playwright, Terra Taylor Knudson weaves Shakespeare's works into a truly unique coming-of-age story, illustrating the surprising ways that the Bard shaped her voice and helped her find a voice as a woman and an artist.
