Dame Harriet Walter She Speaks! What Shakespeare's Women Might Say

Harriet Walter, renowned for her screen roles including Succession and Sense and Sensibility, is one of Britain’s most esteemed Shakespearean actors (and a Festival Ambassador). Having played most of Shakespeare’s female characters, she audaciously lets them speak their minds. With new parts for 30 Shakespearean women, written in ‘Shakespearean’ verse and prose, she goes between the lines of the plays to let us hear what she imagines - sometimes playfully and sometimes searchingly - these women were really thinking.
