About the show

Step into the world of Antonia, an ambitious young actor in 17th-century London who is armed with a newly printed copy of Shakespeare's plays but furious that she is forbidden from performing . Inviting you into the rehearsal room, Antonia dares to rehearse Shakespeare's female characters, finding her voice, one bold role at a time.


Created in association with Shakespeare's Birthplace, Beckis Cooper has toured her 'spellbinding' solo-show all over the country and has been dubbed 'a phenomenal tour de force of Shakespearean girl power' (Lincolnshire World.)


A lightning-fast, emotionally charged journey through.
