ABOUT THE SHOW:
Join us for a riotous staged reading as we reignite the poetry, passion and extraordinary life of
Emilia Bassano - a trailblazing poet and feminist voice of the Renaissance, in Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's captivating play, Emilia. Set in Elizabethan England, the play follows Emilia's journey from obscurity to empowerment as she navigates a society dominated by men. With a blend of humor, passion, and raw emotion, Emilia celebrates female resilience and the power of women's voices throughout history. This empowering production sheds light on forgotten heroines and ignites a fiery call for equality and recognition. Join us for an inspiring and exhilarating theatrical experience that will leave you moved and empowered.
