SUMMARY:Unversed…by Beckis Cooper
DESCRIPTION:Written and performed by Beckis Cooper \nDirected by Rachel Fowler\nin collaboration with the Oxford Preservation Trust\na superbly original and magical hour of Shakespeare – Chawton House\nutterly spell binding – Lamport Hall\n \nStep into the world of Antonia, an ambitious young actor in c-17th London, as she discovers a newly printed copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio. In a world where women are forbidden from gracing the stage, Antonia dares to rehearse Shakespeare’s female characters, grappling with her role both onstage and in society.\nWe are delighted to be collaborating with The Oxford Preservation Trust, for this performance to return to the wonderful setting of one of Oxford’s best kept secrets – The Painted Room – a place Shakespeare himself frequented on his journeys between London and Stratford-upon-Avon.\nAudiences have been captivated by Beckis Cooper’s dynamic performance, bringing characters such as Lady Macbeth, Beatrice, and Juliet to life in an intimate, historic setting with rave reviews.\nCommissioned for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio.\n
