Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender
About the Show
Before buying tickets, please note: all adult patrons are required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. Masks are also required for all audiences inside the theatre.
Internationally renowned actor Lisa Wolpe has arguably played more of the Bard’s male roles than any woman in history. From cross-gender exploration to the unforgettable story of her life and the discovery of her Jewish heritage, Lisa triumphantly illustrates that Shakespeare’s insight into the human condition is as relevant as ever. Finding celebration and solace in the words and enchanting power of Shakespeare, Wolpe explores the courageous, often tragic, always fascinating history of her troubled family–weaving in glorious passages from Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, The Winter’s Tale, Twelfth Night, Richard III, and Romeo and Juliet.
