Emilia

“You have two weeks from tomorrow to watch a recorded version of the Globe and West End hit show about Emilia Bassano, the woman who may—or may not—have been the Dark Lady of Shakespeare’s sonnets. An all-female cast and creative team give Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s playful anachronistic script real welly. The whole thing is like a mad and utterly rousing feminist pantomime that celebrates women’s creativity and mourns how often their achievements are over-looked and erased from history. The final rousing monologue is a brilliant call to arms: inspiring, moving, defiant and down right angry. No, it’s hardly subtle, but it is cracking stuff.”
