Artful Women presents Susanna Rich

Description

"Shakespeare’s *itches: The Women Talk Back" A poetry musical from the points of view of Shakespeare’s female characters and our contemporary counterparts, including The Dark Lady of the Sonnets teasing Will; Desdemona in a duet with Nicole Brown Simpson; Kate, the shrew, as a contemporary bartender singing a drinking song; Gertrude taunting Ophelia; and Cordelia rapping on the Mountebank William Show. In turns rollicking and moving, bawdy and philosophical, "Shakespeare’s *itches" gives voice to often victimized characters, and, through poetry and song, restores their power. The audience?will be invited to participate and sing along! Written and performed by Emmy-nominated poet and troubadour Susanna Rich.
