Soliloquies: The Lady Doth Indeed Protest

Lady MacBeth kill herself? Please. And Portia-you don't think someone that intelligent would be pissed to be bait and trophy? As for Kate ... that's supposed to be funny? "e;Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest"e; is a collection of soliloquies by Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Regan, Portia, Desdemona, Kate, Isabella, Juliet, Marina, and Miranda--protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare.Exquisite poetry. Fresh new audition pieces. And a theatrical script ready for performance."e;...not only dynamic, imaginative verse writing, but extremely intelligent and intuitive insight ... I know many actresses who would love to get their hands on this material! As a Shakespeare director, I'm thrilled by the perspective which Chris' pieces provide of the plays and characters which they challenge - I believe these will be sought after by theatre companies which also do solid classical work, as new material for their audiences, embraced by a season of Shakespeare plays. As a feminist, I'm excited by how these characters come alive and point up the perceptions and misperceptions that have shaped their literary and theatrical destinies. As a dramaturg, I'm more than pleased to find modern playwrights who can write in heightened language and/or verse. This is a rare gift, and Chris has this gift."e; Joanne Zipay, Judith Shakespeare Company, NYC
