Persephone Productions presented


The Loves of Shakespeare's Women



Persephone Productions presented The Loves of Shakespeare's Women, by Susannah York, adapted and performed by Gabrielle Soskin and directed by Jennifer Piercey. Costume by Yves Jean Lacasse, Lighting by Sarah Yaffe

This delightful dramatization explores the variety of relationships that women experience in Shakespeare's plays linked by a single thread, love. Here we see love in all its aspects: love of power, of King, of country, father, mistress, friend, brother. Characters include Juliet, Portia, Isabella, Rosalind, Viola, Constance, Lady Macbeth and several others. Gabrielle adds her own personal commentary, and in doing so reveals her great love relationship with the Bard.
