Harriet Walter & Friends: What Shakespeare’s Women Might Have Said (Los Angeles)
LOS ANGELES | IN-PERSON
One of Britain’s most esteemed Shakespearean actors, Dame Harriet Walter, currently starring in Silo and renowned for her extraordinary portrayals in Succession, Killing Eve and Ted Lasso, has written SHE SPEAKS! WHAT SHAKESPEARE’S WOMEN MIGHT HAVE SAID, imagining what his female characters might have been secretly thinking and letting them speak their minds.
Enjoy Shakespeare’s women as they demand centre stage in this special performance, giving voice to brilliant, profound and hilarious alternative insights & female perspectives in gorgeously constructed verse, sonnets and prose.
“I worship Shakespeare…but the mirror that he held up to Nature reflected a predominantly male image of the world. I pondered the long shadow of his genius and tried to think of ways to let a little sunlight in on some of his women’s stories. I like to think he wouldn’t mind.” –– Harriet Walter
