Art Insights: Playing Dead

Explore the wit, resilience, and power of Shakespeare’s women with the author of “Performing Shakespeare’s Women: Playing Dead” – noted Shakespeare scholar, Dr. Paige Martin Reynolds.

In this engaging conversation, Reynolds examines comic heroines and tragic visionaries and how these classic characters navigate performance, silence, agency, and identity. Live performances of iconic scenes by local and SHAKE Theatre actors will illuminate the discussion.

The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Pilar McKay, Managing Director of SHAKE Theatre of New York and a seasoned theatre leader, entrepreneur, artist, and strategist.
