Women of Will is a new writing theatre production by Tina Packer, Ella Loudon, and Paul-Lou Lemieux, performed at The Library Gallery as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Based on Tina Packer's Women of Will, the show follows Jack, an ageing actor, and Ava, a bartender auditioning for drama school, as they work through Shakespeare's canon together in a pub, clashing and connecting along the way. The production charts how Shakespeare's writing for women changed across his career. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over. Tickets start from £10.
Why see this show?
An intimate two-hander that uses Shakespeare's heroines as a prism for connection and change — tender, smart, and staged with genuine warmth. A thoughtful choice for anyone who loves theatre and the Bard in equal measure.
