Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender
T041568484
Finding celebration and solace in the words and enchanting power of Shakespeare, Ms. Wolpe explores the courageous, often tragic, always fascinating history of her troubled family - weaving in personal photos, video and glorious passages from Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, The Winter's Tale, Twelfth Night, Richard III and Romeo and Juliet. Similar to a fresh telling of R&J, Ms. Wolpe's story wreaks havoc on the heart as the catastrophic circumstances of her family history would be too much to bear if not for the liberation and catharsis that this valiant performer discovers (and the audience shares) in the telling of it.
