Shakespeare's Sister
Shakespeare's Sister is a play that intertwines Shakespeare's female characters with the stories of the first actresses who debuted them, and the possible life of a female writer imagined by Virginia Wolff in one of her plays.
It is a testimony to the conditions in which these women wrote in silence in the mid-17th century or had to wait to perform on stage.
It is a story of solidarity, of the fight against sexism and discrimination in art and literature. It is a piece about duality, about cross-dressing on stage, about 'to be or not to be'. A story about women coming out of darkness. The play will be performed in English and starring the actresses: Shirley Blake and Delphine Ural.
There is a short Meet & Greet after the performance. Photos and videos are not allowed during the performance.
