What if Ophelia met Juliet?Would she give her some relationship advice? What if Portia told Cleopatra to wise up?
Headstrong, feisty and in the thralls of love, what can they learn from each other? Would they be happier (and less dead) if they just dumped their men?
Watch as Jules and Fee jump in and out of heroes, villains, lovers and tyrants probing Shakespeare’s best-known characters to learn a little more about themselves. Can Goneril give them strength? Cleopatra, power or Portia, guile? Could Hamlet be the key to unlocking who they are, what went wrong and why they’re still stuck playing their parts over and over forever more?
Commedia of Errors are delighted to present this new production of their smash hit Shakespeare's Women. Fusing modern comedy and drama with classical verse, see Shakespeare and his favourite women in a brand-new light.
Shakespeare’s Women deals with themes of: relationships, female empowerment, toxic masculinity, and suicide.
Following on from The Gap Year (Lyric Belfast), I Am Maura (Belfast Children’s Festival) and most recently Mary Ann, The Forgotten Sister (Kabosh), the debut play by Clare McMahon returns under director Benjamin Gould’s signature bold characterisation, snappy pacing and high energy.
