In a world of flaunted sexual inequality, Emilia forges a passionate ambition to make her voice her own. And shares it with us. Funny, furious and colourful. First performed at Shakespeare's Globe in 2018 Emilia is a rollicking picaresque dream- history play based on the life of Emilia Bassano. Thought by some to be his lover - the ‘Dark Lady’ of his Sonnets, Emilia’s relationship with Shakespeare, amongst many others at Court and in society, become the foil to her growing determination to make her own poetic voice heard.

Imbued with feminist fire, Emilia brings alive issues of inequality and freedom of expression that still disturb our own times.
