Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece is a provocative, politically-charged thriller. In the hands of internationally-acclaimed singer and winner of the prestigious Bank of Scotland Herald Angel Award, Camille O'Sullivan, this epic poem is brought to life through storytelling and song.
O'Sullivan relates the tragic tale of Tarquin and Lucrece, accompanied by an original score played live by Feargal Murray on piano. Inhabiting their souls she delivers the tremendous range of human experience at play in this dark episode - a story as monsterous as it is beautifully written.
A hit at the Edinburgh and Sydney festivals, this Royal Shakespeare Company production is a compelling blend of music and verse.
