What became of Emilia Bassano, poet and contemporary of William Shakespeare? Was she his “Dark Lady” of the sonnets? What does it mean to be reduced to a footnote in a man’s story? In this bold reimagining, Emilia reaches across time to speak for women — mothers, lovers, thinkers, muses — who dare to be seen and heard on their own terms. Hilarious and heart-breaking, Emilia features an all-female cast portraying multiple Elizabethan characters. Content advisory: This production contains adult themes, strong language, racism, misogyny, sexual harassment, child loss, suicide and domestic violence.
