About the Show

Justin Audibert directs an engaging reimagining of Shakespeare's comedy where women are in charge.

In this new production, women rather than men assume traditional positions of power in sixteenth century Elizabethan England. In a unique twist of Shakespeare's plot, Lady Baptista seeks to sell off her two sons for marriage. Directed by Justin Audibert (Snow in Midsummer, The Jew of Malta, The Tempest).
