Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender
by Lisa Wolpe

Internationally-renowned actor and Shakespeare scholar Lisa Wolpe has arguably played more of the Bard’s male roles than any woman in history. From gender explorations to intergenerational trauma to the unforgettable story of her life, Wolpe triumphantly illustrates that Shakespeare’s insight into the human condition is as relevant as ever.

“Weaving monologues from her favorite male Shakespeare roles with reflections on her family history, Wolpe explores her fascination with upending gender conventions as a way to reclaim power in the face of a traumatic past.”
