The Royal Shakespeare Company

A Royal Shakespeare Company production of The Rape of Lucrece performed and sung by Camille O'Sullivan.

Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece is a politically charged, sexually provocative and violent thriller.

In the hypnotic hands of internationally-acclaimed performer Camille O'Sullivan, this rarely performed epic poem is thrillingly brought to life through storytelling and song by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

With original music played live by Feargal Murray on piano, O'Sullivan inhabits the souls of both Tarquin and Lucrece.

While narrating their fates, she expresses an astonishing range of human experience contained in this dark tale – a story as monstrous as it is beautifully written.
