The Loves of Shakespeare’s Women

The Loves of Shakespeare’s Women was inspired by John Gielgud’s one-man show The Ages of Man. Solo performer Susannah York thought: “Why not an Ages of Women? Passionate women, comic women. Subtle, savage, submissive or scheming women. Young, old, jovial, grieving women.” Familiar themes emerged when she delved into Shakespeare’s canon. She began to see a uniting thread in these women’s lives.

Presented by The Federal Bureau of Entertainment.
