A visceral exploration of the evolution of love through the words of William Shakespeare.

As primordial man and woman face unity’s final threshold, they must face their scars, betrayals, and vulnerabilities through a matrix of Shakespeare’s wit and words. Trapped in a circle of salt, both are victims as well as predators, facing lifetimes of trauma in order to move forward and become free of lifetimes of hurt.

The process has been long to bring us to this place and that makes it all the sweeter. Who should come to see your show? Last Life: A Shakespeare Play is not o …Read more
