Crowded Fire Theater Company presents Contours: A Shakespeare Project, conceived and directed by Crowded Fire company member Marissa Wolf. In the show, Wolf collages together pieces of Shakespeare’s plays giving new voices and experiences to his female characters. Utilizing live performance, vibrant music, and surprising textual choices, Contours is a lively and experimental exploration of the contemporary resonances of the women of Shakespeare.

Lady Macbeth, Juliet, Rosalind — How well do you really know Shakespeare’s women? Mixing and remixing the tragedies and pleasures of these rare heroines, Contours traverses an intricate world of mystery and desire featuring Shakespearean women like you’ve never seen them before.
