The Book of Will - March 20 - March 23, 2019

Covenant School

 Directors' Notes 

 

"Is a life worth a legacy?"

 

The question John Heminges poses in The  Book of Will is well worth asking. Where would we be without Henry V, Orlando, Macbeth, King Lear, Titania, Portia..?
 
It is difficult to imagine, and when we do, the world seems a darker place. Indeed the reach of Shakespeare across history, geography and society has been magnificent, but without the insight and invention of his friends, we would live in that dark world today.
 
What must it have been like to pull together this vast collection of poetry and scripts with only memory and scraps of paper to work from? Join Will's friends as they fight against the clock to memeorialize the words of the world's greatest playwright. 
 
On the occasion of Covenant's anniversary, we consider it a priviledge and blessing to be a part of a community that values legacy, that uplifts rich, soul-filling stories. We have indeed become a band of brothers and sisters striving for 25 years to join these friends in history to preserve and pass down a life-giving legacy. 
 
 
Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam
