LADY MInspired by a certain Shakespearean character, LADY M is the life coach you ignore at your peril.

In MR KING we see Lady M and Beth plot to unseat the lord and master of Hannigan’s.

SHAKESPEARE (SHE/HER):
‘an insightful piece of theatre’ … ‘powerful’ … ‘moving’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Broadway Baby
‘fresh, innovative … a fast-paced production that is sure keep viewers on their toes’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Theatre Weekly
This is a major digital project, bringing together 35 monologues, sonnets and songs by Shakespeare’s women, placed in 21st-century settings and screening on international theatre platform Scenesaver. Featuring a superb cast and directed and filmed by Wayne T Brown for Three Chairs and a Hat, Shakespeare (she/her) was first seen at the Brighton and Edinburgh Online Fringe Festivals, and linked with Scenesaver and charities Crisis and The Samaritans, to highlight some of the issues raised in the videos. In 2022 the project will be showcased at the Equality Shakespeare Festival, a digital initiative hosted by The Shakespeare Institute and University College London to foster equality across race, class and gender.
‘Shakespeare (She/Her) is a timely, accessible and valuable educational tool which should be viewed not just by students but by everyone who cares about gender equality. It places centre-stage women’s voices and viewpoints in ways which are by turns witty, arresting, poignant and powerful. To watch it is to have expectations about Shakespeare altered and prejudices challenged. Watch it, therefore, and be prepared to see Shakespeare’s women in a completely new light.’—Dr Chris Laoutaris, The Shakespeare Institute
