I'm going to focus on the Women of Will performance that's coming up on 10/15, but just know that there's a whole lot more going on as well.  

The Boston-area premiere of Tina Packer’s acclaimed performance of "Women of Will" is the centerpiece of "Shakespearean Character on Trial," a two-day series of events that brings together some of the most recognized theater producers and academic authorities on Shakespeare. Sponsored by the Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities at Wellesley College, it will be held Friday and Saturday, Oct.15-16. All events are free and open to the public.

"Women of Will": A Performance by Tina Packer, Founding Artistic Director,Shakespeare & Company
Friday, Oct.15 - 7:30 p.m. – Diana Chapman Walsh Alumnae Hall, Wellesley College

A true tour de force of performance with just a bit of crowd participation, "Women of Will" is the much-anticipated, masterful summation of Packer's 40-odd years of deep investigation into all things Shakespeare. The free Oct. 15 performance at Wellesley will be the only Boston-area performance of this acclaimed night of theater exploring Shakespeare’s heroines.
