ABOUT THE DARK LADY:
The year is 1588.
Emilia Bassano is crafting some of the most remarkable stories the world will see.
But women are not permitted to write plays, and so theatre’s greatest characters stand to be lost in the abyss…
That is until a deal is struck, with the stableboy William Shakespeare…
“The Dark Lady” (Winner of the Eugene O’Neill NMTC 2023) is a musical that mixes historical fact, speculation and imagination, depicting the ‘what-if’ scenario whereby the poet Bassano is the true author of Shakespeare’s works.
