Magic Theatre hosts a free reading of Muse Of Fire by Lauren Gunderson in the theater in Building D, Third Floor at Fort Mason Center For Arts and Culture. Muse Of Fire is an intimate two-hander diving into the life and love of William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne, at the volatile moment of Shakespeare’s retirement from London and a life on the boards.

Exploring art, ambition, and the searing emotional and creative fuel behind the world’s greatest playwright, Museo Of Fire grapples with the sacrifices and joys of a life in the theater, while excavating the muscular heart of a storyteller and his muse.

Directed by Evren Odcikin, the Muse Of Fire readings take place at Magic on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Lauren Gunderson and Casey Murphy perform in the readings.
