Women of Will

Tina Packer, Ella Loudon, Paul-Lou Lemieux • Professional company

60 minutes•The Library Gallery
Jack, an aging actor, walks into a pub. Ava, a bartender auditioning, once again, for drama school, pours him a drink. Jack offers to help Ava with her monologues, and the two wend their way through the Shakespeare canon, clashing and connecting as they do. Based on the ineffable Tina Packer's Women of Will, this production charts the way Shakespeare's writing for women changed across his career. Intimate, epic; what emerges is an homage to some of the Bard's heroines, a love song to connection, as they learn to listen to both the text and each other.
