Shakespeare's Women

SHAKESPEARE'S WOMEN
Exciting. Fascinating. Complex. Eternal.

London. 1613. A dangerous, exciting city. The Globe Theatre has just burned down.

Shakespeare having retired, returns from Statford-Upon-Avon to try and pull a pheonix from the ashes. He is ill. Rich, famous but guilt-ridden having been away from his wife for 29 years. He has to write a new play for the reopening of the theatre but has writer’s block.

He turns to his earlier plays for inspiration and in the process some of the women he created appear and interact with him.

Shakespeare’s poetic quill laid open the depths of woman’s nature. Beside exquisite emotion, terrible passions play their dangerous and fatal part.
