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… Until a deal is struck, with the stableboy William Shakespeare… ​ ~~~~​​​ “The Dark Lady” is an audacious new musical fusing synth-pop with classical, historical fact with speculation. The show depicts the ‘what-if’ scenario whereby Bassano is the true author of Shakespeare’s works.
