Heroines - July 2017
What happens when you pluck six women out of Shakespeare’s plays, jazz them up a bit and throw ‘em in a room together?
Instead of Lady Macbeth, you get Emma: Still a powerhouse, still ambitious but a bit less murderous. What about Ophelia? Would she be the same? Maybe not… Effie, inspired by both Ophelia and Hamlet, still struggles with her mental health, but wouldn’t any actor with 20 jobs? Who is Juliet without Romeo? Chilling with her best mate Ros, pre-drinking and essay writing. When “shrew” Kate isn’t causing drama, she resides on her yoga mat…to eat Nutella. When it all goes tits up, Delia the Diffuser is always at hand. You know, they always say it’s the quiet ones? No wonder Shakespeare didn’t put this feisty lot in the same play!
Thanks for the inspiration Shakespeare, we'll take it from here.
