CARLA KISSANE A cabaret of Shakespearean proportions. A maelstrom of archetypal ancestry, this irreverent mash-up of contemporary music and Shakespearean text follows the greatest of Shakespeare’s heroines to their dramatic demise. Our contemporary role models are rock stars, but in Shakespeare’s time the Queens were tweeting selfies just the same. Find out what happens when Shakespeare’s misfortunate maidens are revealed through the music of Amy Winehouse, Rhianna, Florence + The Machine and then some… As Ophelia so deftly put it: ‘Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be.’
