What if women who appear to play supporting roles, in
theatre or in life, were able to play a starring role in their own
stories? The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines by Don Nigro,
completes the idea that all the world is a stage and the life of the
"minor" character isn't always as dismissive as we would like it to be.
This is a journey of loneliness, madness, lust, and humor. In a
strange, other-worldly cabaret a rather lucid Ophelia from Hamlet tells
her side of the story, a mad Mariana from Measure for Measure dreams of
love on her terms, a feisty Miranda from The Tempest catches a glimpse
of life outside the box she has been put in, and 2 actresses Bonnie and
Zoe allow us a glimpse into the comedy and tragedy that exists
off-stage. Funny and sexy, dark and compelling, the words rush forward
with poetic prose, making every last bit fantastic.
Also, be sure to join us on October 2nd after the show for our Opening Night Reception in the Craig Hall Lobby.
