Lunchbox Theatre Presents The Dark Lady.
Everyday from Oct 16, 2023 - Oct 29, 2023 at 12:00 am - 12:00 am
For more than 400 years, mystery has enshrouded the identity of Shakespeare’s “Dark Lady” as depicted in his sonnets, believed by many to be England’s first female published poet-musician, Emilia Bassano. Bassano was also trilingual, mixed race, and a force to be reckoned with. The Dark Lady brings these two poets together as they wrestle with artistic collaboration, ambition, envy and love.
