“If you think I’m cruel to speak this truth then you will think me murderous if all my truth were known.”
Four hundred years ago Emilia Bassano wrote radical, feminist, subversive poetry; one of the first published collections written by a woman in England. Emilia wanted her voice to be heard. It wasn’t. But her story is still our story. In Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s electrifying and Olivier Award-winning play, Emilia and her sisters reach out across the centuries with passion, fury, laughter and song.
Emilia is performed by our MA Performance – Acting cohort.
Age guidance: 18+
