About this Event
Plot Synopsis.
"Let me imagine, since facts are so hard to come by, what would have happened had Shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister, called Judith, let us say." -Virginia Woolf
Dressed in drag, Judith heads to London to save her brother’s reputation. There, she finds herself in a patriarchal, politically-charged, deeply divided nation, discovering the pleasures and pitfalls of passing as a poet known around town as The Bard. Gallivanting in and out of character, Judith is a touching solo show that questions ambition, self-worth, and queer identity.
