Performance: Lisa Wolpe's Shakespeare and The Alchemy of Gender (Verona Shakespeare Festival, Italy)
Tuesday January 6, 8:30pm (running time: 55 minutes + talk back)
LSPU Hall
A fearless, uplifting, and deeply personal one-person show
Internationally renowned actor and Shakespeare scholar Lisa Wolpe has arguably played more of the Bard’s male roles than any woman in history. From gender explorations to intergenerational trauma to the unforgettable story of her life, Lisa triumphantly illustrates that Shakespeare’s insight into the human condition is as relevant as ever.
“Weaving monologues from her favorite male Shakespeare roles with reflections on her family history, Wolpe explores her fascination with upending gender conventions as a way to reclaim power in the face of a traumatic past.” —The New Yorker
Note: The performance will conclude with a 15-minute Closing Ceremony: Conversation with Community, where audience members are invited to ask playwright/performer Lisa Wolpe about the play and engage in conversation about its themes.
