Shakespeare’s Mothers: Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know
Shakespeare wrote the most dynamic female characters theatre has ever seen – Lady Macbeth, Queen Margaret, Cleopatra. His treacherous, adulterous, vengeful mothers are especially powerful. Exploiting their fatal fascination over husbands, sons and lovers, Shakespeare uses these women to drive his most thrilling plots. But how would he answer charges of inciting female violence through such ‘inappropriate’ role models? As these fascinating characters re-live the most exciting moments of their lives, Shakespeare presents his case. Straylight Australia returns to C venues after last year’s critically-acclaimed Fringe debut. **** (Scotsman).
